Story

OK, Here we go,

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

Wish me luck!

Yep, I'm really going to do it! At 11PM on 8th October that'll be me up on top of there! That is Centre Point (those who know Oxford Street will know it well). It is 400 feet high. And I intend to abseil off it at night.

As those of you who know me well will be aware, the RNIB is a charity close to my heart. If I really fear one thing it is losing my sight. When I am on top of that building and look out over the London nightscape I'll be trying to remember to really appreciate being able to see it. Others are not so lucky and life doesn't give any of us any guarantees. There are very many worthy causes and each of us must make their own decision about what we can do for the ones that strike a chord with us. For me this is one of them, so go on, please dig deep and sponsor me online. I promise I am unlikely to ever do it again, honest Guv ... Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNIB will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. Hugs to you all Jill xxx A huge *Thank You* to everyone who has sponsored me online and also the following offline sponsors:- Stephen R, Harry, Vipul, Yvonne, Paul, Alan, Monique, Fi, Anita, Peter W, Charis, Valerie, Nibras, Lin, Hilda, David P, Luc, Tony, Dennis, Stuart, Catherine
