Title: Want to see Geo throw himself off the Forth Bridge? Post by: Geo the Sarge on October 15, 2013, 09:15:18 PM Not quite as graphic as the title suggests.
A young lady colleague of mine had completed a Day to make a Difference event with Waverley Care and decided to help raise money for this charity. Michelle hasn't been too well herself this year and has spent a bit of time in hospital with further visits to come. She has a great fear of heights and at short notice I decided to offer more than moral support by volunteering to join her in an abseil from the Forth Bridge next Sunday. Waverley Care support individuals and their families suffering from HIV and Hepatitis C. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I hope to get some good photos of the event to share in return Waverley Care site is here, to give you an idea of what they do: http://www.waverleycare.org/ Our just giving page is here: http://www.justgiving.com/George-Dickson1?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=fundraisingpage&utm_content=George-Dickson1&utm_campaign=pfp-share-mobile Thanks Geo Title: Re: Want to see Geo throw himself off the Forth Bridge? Post by: tikay on October 16, 2013, 10:12:21 PM The very best of luck with this, Geo, you are a braver man than me.
You get a bonus, though, to see one of the world' greatest bridges at very close hand. Enjoy. Title: Re: Want to see Geo throw himself off the Forth Bridge? Post by: Marky147 on October 16, 2013, 10:21:16 PM I found that the 5m board was plenty high enough for me :)
Good luck to you both! Title: Re: Want to see Geo throw himself off the Forth Bridge? Post by: Mohican on October 17, 2013, 01:20:47 PM Gd luck with this.
