Calling all daredevils, the Hospice of St Francis has launched another fundraising
challenge and is looking for volunteers to go over the top for the hospice. In this case abseiling 100 feet off one of the highest buildings in Hemel Hempstead.
Dixons Retail has kindly offered their Head Office building in Maylands Avenue as
a platform for this stunt taking place on Sunday 25 September. Registration costs just
£25 with a minimum sponsorship requirement of just £100. Under 18′s need to pay just
£20 to register and raise a minimum of £50.
Community Fundraiser Emma Day commented, “This is an amazing opportunity to set
yourself a personal challenge whilst raising money for a fantastic local cause. If you
have ever wanted to do something daring then now is the time to grasp the
opportunity”. She continued, “Last year we hosted this event for the first time and were thrilled with the amount of people that took part. It raised more than £15,500 and this year we are hoping to smash that target! So, if you are planning a family day out, a team building event or simply fancy a challenge before the year is out, then sign up”. All the money raised will go towards helping patients and their families coping with a life limiting illness. The Hospice of St Francis provides a range of services in the hospice and beyond, for patients and families living with life-limiting illness in Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempsted, St Albans and surrounding villages.
