Thanks for taking the time to visit my Challenge 150 Abseil JustGiving page - Facing My Fear for a Cause That’s Close to My Heart
On 26th September, I’ll be stepping far outside my comfort zone, abseiling down the Norwich Forum to raise funds for Star Throwers, a remarkable cancer support charity based in Wymondham. They provide vital wellbeing services, compassionate community, and most importantly, time and trusted information to help people living with cancer feel informed, empowered, and supported.
There’ll be nearly 80 of us taking on the Forum that day, so if you’re nearby, please come down to Millennium Plain and cheer us on!
For those who know me well, you’ll know I have a serious fear of heights. But this challenge is about more than just conquering that fear. It’s for the family and friends I’ve lost, for those still fighting, and for everyone who’s faced cancer with courage. Compared to their battles, this is the least I can do.
If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world. Every pound raised helps Star Throwers continue their incredible work.
'Why Challenge 150?' - the answer is simple; over 150 new breast cancer cases are diagnosed in the UK every day (Source: Cancer Research UK).
