Do you dare to dangle off of the Spinnaker Tower in 2016?

2nd August 16

Are you looking for a challenge? Do you consider yourself a bit of a daredevil?

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is looking for brave and daring people to take part in their latest fundraising challenge.

On Sunday 24th September, you are being given the chance to abseil down one of the South Coast’s most recognisable landmarks – the Spinnaker Tower. Head to the top of the Tower then be expertly guided over the abyss before abseiling down to meet your friends and family cheering you on at the bottom. The experience promises to be thrilling for both adrenalin junkies and more land-loving types – with all participants welcome.

By taking part in our abseil you can enable more inspirational young people in recovery from cancer to go sailing. We are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.

How do I get involved?
If you are over 18, have no serious medical conditions and are seeking a thrill then this could be the challenge for you! There is an £85 registration fee and you only need to raise a minimum of £150 sponsorship. Please note that young people who have sailed with the Trust will be able to enter for the discounted price of £40.

All participants will receive a certificate to prove they did indeed take the challenge, while those that successfully raise over £300 will also receive a ‘Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust Boat Badge’ to celebrate their achievement.

To register for a place, please email Camilla now or call 01983 297750.

Raising the money
Stuck for ideas on how to fundraise? Firstly, it's wise to break your fundraising target down into manageable chunks. Plan local events such as pub quizzes, car boot sales or company cake days and be sure to create your own personal web page on Virgin Money Giving, JustGiving and BT Mydonate. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter can also generate awareness.

Once you have signed up for the abseil, we will send you a copy of our Fundraising Pack which is full of fantastic ideas to kick start your fundraising.
