Tokyo Tower and Step Up Challenge Individual Cups
What is the Tokyo Tower Climb Individual Cup?
The Individual Cup is a team event allowing supporters to challenge each other in both fundraising and the fastest time.
The Tokyo Tower Climb is a chance to up your game physically and creatively: we want to “walk the walk” to honor the lives lost to suicide in Japan. Helping people feel comfortable talking about mental health is crucial in the fight against suicide and the stigma that prevents people from accessing services and support.
