Story

I am not one for heights, so this is a bit of a challenge for me!

That said, the preservation and enhancement of the beautiful building that is Exeter Cathedral is a cause close to my heart so, in a moment of complete madness, I agreed to help raise money to help fund the new Cloister Gallery by taking part in this abseil from the Cathedral's Norman North Tower. The new structure will connect the Cathedral with the 13th century Chapter House and Pearson Building.

The potential horror of what I am doing will be greatly lessened by any encouraging sponsorship (great or small) :)

Eyes closed - and off I jump!

Thank you
