First abseil, 400ft done with one leg. <\/strong>Between BKA and AKA (2015)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The first abseil was done for charity, for Canine Partners<\/a> as a thank you for my wonderful recently partnered assistance dog \u2018Abbey\u2019. \u00a0I think there were 14 of us, and combined we raised over \u00a34000 for the charity.<\/p>\n

Second Abseil, also 400ft (same tower) – but this time with no legs! (2018)<\/b><\/h1>\n

The second abseil, there were 7 of us that I managed to encourage (persuade) to do it. Combined, we raised approximately \u00a31500, this was split between three charities, chosen by the victims.<\/p>\n

  • British Heart Foundation<\/li>\n
  • Sepsis Trust (read the rest of my site and you will understand why)<\/li>\n
  • Talbot Butler Cancer ward of Northampton General Hospital.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I have been told by the organisers, I am the only bilateral amputee to have ever abseiled the lift tower, and with the quote from their website \u2018The National Lift Tower based in Northampton is an iconic feat of architecture. At a staggering 418 feet, it is now the largest abseil tower in the world.\u2019 How can I top that!<\/p>\n
