DOWN BUT NOT OUT!

During the lockdown I have been receiving further
treatment for my leukaemia and sadly I am no longer able to participate in the things that have helped me raise money over the years for Wheatfields Hospice in memory of my late husband Clive. My skydiving, wing walking and ‘looping-the-loop’ days are over but my determination to continue to raise money for this amazing
charity remains as strong as ever, so on August the 29^th I am taking
part in ‘Zip the Cow 2021’ at Ilkley, where I will attempt to climb the ‘cow’ at the Cow & Calf rocks and the launch tower on top of the ‘cow’ before zipping 270m down Ilkley Moor at speeds of up to 40mph.

Fifty years ago, I took up rock climbing and have vivid memories of hanging upside down on the Cow & Calf Rocks. Alas this is just a memory and having fractured my vertebrae in 2018 climbing the rock will be my biggest challenge.

By sponsoring me for this event you will be helping Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice to continue to provide the incredible care and support they afford to people across Leeds in need of palliative and end of life care.

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition – they’re there when it matters. Their doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.
