Lesley Edge Newport Transporter Bridge Abseil
Fundraising for St David's Hospice Care (Gwent and S. Powys)
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Next Saturday, 7th October 2017 I shall be abseiling off the top of the Newport Transporter Bridge in aid of St Davids Hospice. Why? Because, I can, I think. I'm mightily terrified to be honest but I've never done an abseil before. This is almost like two challenges - the first one being that we all have to climb up 278 steps before free-fall abseiling 170 feet.
This is part of the 50 challenges I set myself to complete before my 50th birthday next year (www.lesleys50by50.blogspot.com). It's also one of the scariest things I'll be doing throughout the whole year.
If you could find your way to support me, you'll actually be supporting this group of amazing south Wales Hospices. These are some of the ways your donation can make a difference:
£10 | Pays for a patient to have lunch and afternoon tea in one of our Day Hospices. |
£20 | Could pay for a Hospice at Home Nurse to care for someone in their own home for one hour, giving the care they so desperately need at the end of their life. |

£25 | Pays for a session with one of our Welfare Rights Advisers, helping patients who may have queries re availability of benefits |
