On Sunday 25th June 2023, we will be raising funds by abseiling 100 metres (that's 328 for my imperial friends...scary high for those that don't have a clue - that would be me at this point!) off the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.

This will be an entirely new experience for me, I have never abseiled and looking at that tower, I'm slightly perplexed I've even signed up for this challenge! That said, 'slightly' is where it ends as this is such a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for a charity close to my heart. I've been a volunteer for Lambourn RDA for some years now and every session is a joy. It's so interesting to observe this unique interaction between humans and horses, to watch the progression of an individual through their disability to a realisation of their unique abilities, to see the smiles and the laughter and to note the frustrations and the struggles each endures. Ultimately it culminates in the knowledge that every achievement at RDA, whether mentally or physically, builds a stepping stone of content and happiness in the lives of so many.

And speaking of lives, mine will be on the (abseil) line Sunday the 25th of June 2023, your support would be greatly appreciated!
