Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity are hosting an abseiling event in the Peak District to raise funds for their services to children supported by the hospital.
Participants will be free hanging off Millers Dale Viaduct, 100 feet above a gorge, and descend from the bridge in the heart of the Peak District.
Emily Beahan, Events Fundraising Manager for the event, says: “By taking part in Theo’s Abseil, you are helping to change the lives of children across Yorkshire, the UK, and beyond.”
“The charity helps Sheffield Children’s Hospital to go above and beyond for patients and families, and this wouldn’t be possible without your support. On behalf of the charity team and everyone at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, thank you.”
“Millers Dale Viaduct is a fantastic location to experience the thrill of abseiling, with its peaceful surroundings and unique setting in a picturesque valley. Whether you’re a beginner or have tried it before, this session is designed to be fun for all.”
The event will be led by the Dolomite Training team who run Peak District outdoor activities.
The charity abseil will take place on Saturday 15th March 2025 on the Peak District’s Monsal Trail just outside Buxton.
Their current fundraising running total is £2,363 with the Children’s Hospital Charity aiming to hit £4K.
Isobel Sockett is currently the leading fundraiser, managing to fundraise £421 from donations online.
15 Abseilers have volunteered but they are on the lookout for more to sign up for £30 and a minimum target of £100 to fundraise for the charity.
