Simon and I are both terrified of heights so we have decided to abseil to raise money for the Fund for Children. It's an excellent cause as I know from working at the Trust - and the funds could make a real difference to the experience of young people and their families at a very stressful time. However why we are putting ourselves through this I'm not quite sure! To divert our attention from our fear we may dress up as Batman and Robin - then we'll just have to go over the edge if the boys are watching.

We'd be very grateful for any sponsorship to make the ordeal worthwhile. Thank you so much.
