Story
I am hoping to raise £1500 towards the disabled access fund at my church (St Michael's Bempton here in East Yorkshire) by completing a 325 metre ZipWire Challenge at the North Yorkshire Water Park.
I saw my first zipwire in Dorset in the 1970s with Neil, my late husband, and I was determined to have a go. I did and loved it, he simply watched!! Then we moved North and we saw another one in Dalby Forest, when we both agreed, we would have a go at one of these things as a joint adventure, at some point, but sadly this was not to be.
So here I am, looking forward to becoming 80 years old at the end of March, then heading to North Yorkshire, to complete the big challenge a couple of weeks later to really celebrate my birthday.
I would like to raise as much as I can, for the disabled access at my church and of course do it all in memory of Neil.
I hope I can persuade people to sponsor me or simply donate to this very important cause.
