| Abseil - Velodrome |
| 26th February 2006 |
St Ann’s challenged more than 150 daredevils to face their fear of heights and abseil 120ft to raise money for the Hospice. Not even a bitterly cold February morning could deter the nimble footed thrill-seekers! In total the abseil is expected to raise a fantastic £15,000. St
Ann’s is now recruiting for willing volunteers to raise sponsorship
to take part in this summer’s Zip Line Challenge on June 24th at
Baitings Dam. All you need is your sponsorship money and plenty of adrenalin!
