Abseiling Fundraising Event

Jacquie and Gary organised an abseiling event with the Celtic Manor - Entrants had to raise at least £100's worth of sponsorship to enter! We had over 30 entrants and foolishly after Jacquie saying casually to me that all Kili ladies could do it for the cause so to speak and me being me thinking that if everyone else was doing it I was going to have to part take in it - I wasn't convinced it was the right thing to do as I'm very afraid of heights and drops! My husband however had decided on a drunken night out with the boys to do it and had raised £120 worth of sponsorship so I thought that if he could do it so could I - When Angie then rang me I told her I was doing it as all the Kili girls could do it she said that she'd do it too despite her being afraid of heights!  Well we got to the Celtic Manor and inspected where we were doing it which was on the roof garden at the Celtic Manor and Gary had set up scaffolding and a ladder - we looked at it and the drop it entailed and I said to Ang "I don't think I can do it"  She said that if she was doing it I was doing it and you don't argue with Ang!! We then found out from Jacquie that in fact it was only us and Cerys from the Kili group that were doing the abseil  - Gary and Liz who also were doing Kili had done it but were seasoned abseilers and had organised it so didn't count!!!  We raised approx £5K so it was an extremely worthwhile fundraiser - Well done Jac, Gary and Liz!
