A couple of days ago I made a post about how I was going to abseil off the Transporter bridge in Borough to raise money for Zoes Place. Im still going to do it. On sunday I posted off my registration papers along with a cheque for £10 to cover the fees. Today the sponsor pack was pushed through my door and was sat happily on my key board when I got home from work earlier tonight. After I got my coat off and made a cup of tea, talked with my wife and kids for a bit I opened the pack and read the covering letter. For your entertainment here is part of the letter:
“You will hear from me prior to the event with the time of your abseil; Your Santa suit will be available for collection from the hospice before the event or at the bridge on the day of the event”
The bit of the letter you have just read stopped me dead in my tracks, if its not enough to abseil off a bridge which might I point out has a clearance of 225 ft (69 m) I have to do it dressed like Santa?
As well as the covering letter I was sent I also received four or five sponsor forms along with some information on Zoes Place and how to set up a web donation, which as luck would have it brings me nicely to the blue widget on the top right of my page, the one that says “Just Giving” if you click on donate you will be ported as if by magic to my donation page were you can make a donation (hint hint), strangely enough a vary similar widget thing has appeared on the left side of my facebook page as well, the weird thing is if you click on donate that takes you to exactly the same place..
On Monday night I ordered a pair of sun glasses with a build in video camera on them. If they turn up on time (they better) I am planning to video my decent from the Transporter bridge, then you will see exactly what I saw as I came down, funky ay? Needless to say the video will be posted here as well as on my fund raising site for your entertainment, as proof and so you can see and hear me (I think) squeal like a little piggy all the way down. I am hoping to take loads of photo`s as well.
I will post more about the abseil as it happens
