Abseil for





I regularly donate to Cancer Research UK and decided this year to do something a bit more bold. So, I abseiled down the side of Yeovil Hospital in Somerset - All 120ft (36m). This hospital specialises in researching a cure for cancer and they teamed up with Cancer Research UK to organise this fundraising event. My efforts were dedicated to my mother, cousin, aunt and grandmother - who all tragically fell victim to bowel cancer. My Abseil took place on the 4th September 2005 @ 12.20pm from the roof of Yeovil District Hospital. I managed to raise £260.50 for this good cause and would like to thank everyone who sponsored me - each one of you has made a difference.

I went to Yeovil with two friends and my then girlfriend (now my wife) and upon arrival, my two friends decided to pay £20 on the spot and abseil with me. Well done Emi and Kelly, you should feel proud to have taken part in this event.


Below are some pictures taken on the day.

Further down are the names of my sponsors and their messages of support. Thank you.
