First things first, those of you who follow me on twitter “SORRY” I was moving my posts about and forgot to turn off my auto tweet and accidentally spammed twitter with about 200 tweets in two minutes.. Oops.
Right, down to business. I have volunteered along with a few people I work with to do a sponsored abseil off the Middlesbrough Transporter bridge to help raise some needed funds for Zoë’s Place. ” Zoë’s Place is a home from home for babies who have life limiting or terminal illnesses, special and complex needs to varying degrees”. As they would say.
The company I work for does alot of fund raising for them from selling their greeting cards to dress down Fridays were we all pay £1 to not come to work in dress trousers and collar and tie as well as much more all of which goes to Zoë’s Place. Anyway you should click the link to read more.
For those of you who dont know, this is a picture of the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, which I will be launching or rather stepping off on Sunday the 6th of December. All I have to do, at the moment is send off the form with a cheque to cover the registration fees and then, once I get my sponsors pack I need to raise a minimum of £100. Easy, you say except for one slight problem, not the raising of the minimum donation but the fact that I am scared of heights and this is a big hight to abseil.
Of course I will keep everyone informed about how things are going. On the day I am planning to do a running commentary via twitter and of course there will be plenty pictures and maybe a video., probably of me squealing like a little pig as I come down the rope.
Anyway, watch this space, oh and if you happen to notice any paypal links popping up around Nosceres World Click it and give me your money as Bob Geldof would say, it is for a good cause.
