On 20th June this year, I’ll be doing something that genuinely scares me… I’ll be abseiling down Fairhead Cliff 😳

Now, for most people that might sound like an exciting adventure—but for me, it’s a real challenge. I’m 58 and I have a fear of heights! But I also believe in stepping out of your comfort zone, especially when it’s for a cause that truly matters.

I will be stepping over the edge of one of Northern Ireland's highest cliffs and making my way down over 90 feet. It is definitely outside my comfort zone, but I am doing it for a reason that matters far more than the challenge itself.

Little Heroes supports children and families at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. When a child is in hospital, families often arrive quickly and without the essentials they need. The charity provides practical support such as toiletries for parents staying overnight, comfort items for children, and equipment for hospital wards.

These are not extras. They are the small but important things that make an incredibly difficult time just a little more manageable.

So while I might be battling my fear for a few minutes on that cliff, these children and their families are facing challenges far greater every day.

I am aiming to raise as much as possible to support this work. Every donation, no matter the size, will help make a real difference to families who are going through something most of us hope we never have to face.

For example, 25 pounds could provide essential toiletries for a parent staying at their child's bedside. 100 pounds could help fund comfort items for a ward. Larger donations can contribute towards vital equipment that supports patient care.

If you are able to support me, I would be very grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any contribution you can make.

I’m hoping to raise over £2,000, and every single donation—no matter how big or small—will help Little Heroes continue their vital work.

If you can, please support me (and cheer me on from the safety of solid ground 😅). Your encouragement and generosity will mean so much—not just to me, but to the children and families who rely on this amazing charity.

Thank you so much 💛
