Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 21st of May, 2017 I will have weak knees and sweaty palms as I will be abseiling 165ft (free-fall - like the SAS!) down the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland for charity!

The Forth Rail Bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a famous landmark in Scotland!

The charity I will be fundraising for is Barnardo's Scotland, who help the lives of some of Scotland's most vulnerable children, young people and their families. Such a fantastic charity!

Only a few years ago, I would not have dreamed of doing such an activity, due to having a huge fear of heights, but in May I will be deliberately climbing over a 165ft bridge and abseiling down! (I must be mad?)
