My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Yes folks, I am certifiable! Following on from my highly successful abseil in 2007 (180ft down a cliff face), I have now been invited to dangle again!

This time, it’s a 220ft drop, with the added spice of it being down a waterfall – not just any waterfall, the highest waterfall in England – Canonteign Falls near Exeter.

Now, I don’t like heights at the best of times, and I’m really not keen on water (I can’t swim…), so this is going to be a bit of a challenge. The four foot high fence at the top is going to be the worst bit I think.

For me, the challenge is worth it. I’ll be raising money for the North Devon Hospice, which does amazing work in the North Devon area, caring for people with life threatening illness and their families. I have a personal affinity with this particular hospice, as they cared for my dad during his final week in 2007, and also my step-sister during her final weeks early this year.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please, dig deep and donate now - it doesn't need to be much - every penny makes a difference.

Well done - looking forward to the next time! Donation by Steve Williams 03/10/09
