Steve's fear-busting abseil – screaming is likely

Steve Torpey is raising money for University College London Hospitals Charity UK
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Abseil · 26 June 2026

We’re the official charity of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) supporting patients, staff and research above and beyond what the NHS can provide. Together we can do more!

Story

Update: I did it! Watch the video here!

I have a huge fear of heights. And I'm going to abseil a 17-storey building on 26 June. And all the money raised will go to charity.

I'm scared. So any and all donations, however small, will help give me that bravery to overcome one of my worst fears and to lean backwards out over a 250ft building.

More importantly, these donations will also help improve patient care and support at UCLH hospitals, and fund pioneering research.

Thank you so much for having a look, supporting me, and for donating if you do!
