zip wire for the Kirkwood Hosptic · 6 September 2025

Are you ready to race your friends and family down one of the fastest ziplines in the world, reaching speeds up to 100 mph+ at Zip World in support of The Kirkwood?

Story

This year, I'll be travelling down the world's fastest zip line, Velocity! Comprising a total of 2 zip lines aptly titled the 'Little Zipper' and 'The Big Zipper', Velocity is a 1,555 metre long zip where I will be travelling at speeds up to 100 mph+ in support of the vital care The Kirkwood provides to patients and families at their Hospice site in Dalton, Huddersfield, and in patients own homes and care homes across the breadth of Kirklees. - Will you help me support this vital service and charity by sponsoring my daredevil antics?

Your support and sponsorship will go towards helping those living with life limiting illnesses in your community receive the care and support they need for the best quality of life possible, from diagnosis of a life limiting illness to end of life. - Any donation you make towards my fundraising will be very much appreciated. - Thank you.
