Dancing with the Stars participant and actor Ryan Andrews and partner, Primary School Teacher Michaela ONeill are launching this years CMRF Crumlin Abseil Challenge!

Ryan and Michaela will be going to new heights on the 18th September when they abseil off the roof of Croke Park in Dublin. By dropping 100 feet off the Hogan Stand, Ryan and Michaela are raising vital funds to support the care and treatment of sick children in CHI at Crumlin.

We're delighted to be taking part in the Abseil for CMRF Crumlin challenge, says Ryan. It all made it real when we put the harnesses on and looked out onto Killiney Hill to hone our abseiling skills. It's a long way down to be honest. We think we're ok with heights, and we've never had a problem with it before. But when you're hanging off Croke Park it's a different story. So we'll see. I'm saying we'll be ok with heights now but hopefully I won't back out on the day.

Sign up to join Ryan and Michaela as they abseil off Croke Park on the 18th of September 2020. CMRF Crumlin hopes to raise 30,000 this year with spaces limited to 80 people. There is a 70 registration fee and the minimum people must raise is an additional 350. Participants will climb down behind the large screen on the Hogan stand before dropping down in a 100 foot abseil to the pitch side.
