Story

Hi! As many of you know, my dad was diagnosed with cancer in October of last year. Since then he’s had many ups and downs but is remaining strong with his fight while going through chemo! With this i’ve decided to abseil down the Falkirk Wheel where my dad has worked for many years now and those who know him know how much he loves his job being a boat skipper! In doing so i’ll raise money for Maggies which is a charity dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families. It’s an extremely important charity which helps make tough times that little bit easier for families just like mine… I would be greatly appreciative of any donations that you could spare to help those affected by cancer and hope you come down to the Falkirk Wheel on March 11th to watch me face my fears!
