Story

UPDATE - NEW DATE

We are pleased to confirm that a new abseil date has been booked!

Jason and Stephanie will be descending from Brighton's i360 on Monday 20 May.

This new date means there's even more time to donate as the continued support is greatly appreciated.

************************************

Jason and Stephanie are stepping off the i360 at the end of March and hoping to raise at least £6,155 for Raystede. This amount will pay for five of Raystede’s dog kennels for one month, while helping five rescued dogs to find the perfect new home.

When Raystede Chief Executive, Stephanie Smith, asked Raystede Honorary Ambassador, Jason Burrill, to step off the i360 for the charity, she didn’t expect him to say that she had to do it as well!

Finding out they would be dressed as Batman and Robin when stepping off the i360 was a further surprise. Not unexpected from Jason Burrill who has supported Raystede loyally for many years and always has new ideas or a different way of doing things.

Scared of heights, Stephanie says: "I’ve never done anything remotely like this before but I’d do anything for Raystede and I’m so glad I’ll be there to support Jason".

Jason Burrill, winner of 2016 Big Brother says: "This is a great way to support Raystede, I’m a little bit scared of heights too but I can’t wait for Batman and Robin to descend on 28 March. The thing I’m most looking forward to is raising money for Raystede and making sure Stephanie steps off the platform".

Please support Jason and Stephanie, your donations will make a real difference to animals in need.
