The Grate Descent · 12 May 2023 ·

Join us for an adrenaline pumping experience abseiling The Leadenhall Building also known as The Cheesegrater. Enjoy the thrill as you descend 730ft. See London from a whole new angle if you dare to look down

Story

Thank you everyone who has supported me so far (there is still time!). The abseil went really well, it was good fun though really cold on the day. The professionals helping us were excellent (thank you Phil especially). But it is you, the sponsors, who have helped Demelza to continue to provide expert clinical care and emotional support to children and young people with serious or terminal conditions, and their families. Thank you.

Our granddaughter Abigail was born with brain trauma that limited her capabilities and lifespan severely. During the three and a half years she was with us the immense struggles, emotional and practical, of caring for her - chiefly born by her immediate family - were supported and encouraged by the staff of Demelza. Even 'Demelza Grandparents' like me received excellent support and encouragement during and after that time. 

I want Demelza to continue supporting families like ours in the future. Please help if you can. Thank you.
