Story

Apparently, turning 64 means you’re supposed to take things a little easier… so naturally, I’ve decided to throw myself off the Forth Rail Bridge! 😂

I’m doing a charity abseil to raise money for Chest Heart & Stroke, because if I’m going to have one last big adrenaline rush before I’m officially classed as “getting on a bit,” I might as well do something worthwhile at the same time! 😜

I’m hoping my legs don’t suddenly remember my age when I’m standing at the top looking down… and that the rope has been properly tested! 😳

So, if you can spare a few pounds, I’d be incredibly grateful. Your donation will help Chest Heart & Stroke support people and families affected by chest, heart and stroke conditions.

Please donate if you can — it might just be cheaper than therapy for the person who talked me into this! 😂❤️

Thank you so much for your support! 🥰
