Story

Hello all,

I am not really keen on heights but somehow i've been talked into abseiling the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. I've been promised spectacular views and that I 'WILL' enjoy it.

I am going to use the opportunity to raise money for GAFIRS lifeboat station. It is the local independent emergency service, run entirely by volunteers. The station provides lifesaving cover across the Solent and Portsmouth Harbour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

GAFIRS also provides Water Safety Training to local schools and community groups/organisations.

If you are able to spare a few pounds, every donation really does make a huge difference. If you can't donate, please consider sharing this post to help me reach as many people as possible.

Thank you so much,

Lenie
