Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)
I am doing the Ultimate Abseil on 10 June 2012, from the Forth Rail Bridge, in aid of the Chest, Heart and Stroke Foundation. It was actually my mum who asked me to join her ….and I didn't take long to say yes as I know this charity helps so many people and families coping with the impact of heart disease, chest illnesses and strokes.
I lost my Grannie back in 1998 after she suffered from multiple strokes and other issues, and I still hold memories of her very close to my heart. The years may have passed, but she is still as missed as the day she left. Despite the effects of stroke decreasing her ability to communicate, her personality still shone through and I will always remember her smiling, laughing and nodding away as we chatted!
So although the thought of going off the Forth Rail Bridge on a bit of rope kind of terrifies me :D ... I will have thoughts of my Grannie with me, and my mum there by my side...who will probably help increase my fears with her own blind panic!! Haha!! ...but seriously, I really do hope any money I raise can help others who are suffering, to have a better quality of life and hope for medical advances to help reduce this massive killer impacting on so many people
