Jennings gets a gong

Fidelity Life chief executive Milton Jennings has received a special award acknowledging his long-time support of the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand
Jennings has personally fundraised more than $100,000 for the organisation. For the last seven years he has played in LBC’s Golf Marrowthon, which sees golfers from all handicap levels test their skill and endurance in the ultimate challenge of playing 100 holes in a single day to raise money for LBC.
Golfers can use a golf cart for the day, but Jennings consistently walks the 100 holes – effectively walking the distance of a marathon. He also takes part in LBC’s Shave for a Cure fundraising event and has participated in the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge.
LBC helps patients and families living with blood cancers (leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma) and blood conditions while raising awareness and supporting the search for new treatments and cures for these conditions. There are an estimated 10,000 people living with blood cancer or a related condition in New Zealand, and every day six children and adults in New Zealand are diagnosed.
