Harlow Charity Abseil

Despite wet and windy conditions our abseilers, Amy, Emma, David, Gareth and Patrick bravely climbed the 110 steps of the Harlow Water Tower to make their descent and raise money to support CAFOD’s work.

Year 12 students, Emma and Amy, from Ilford Ursuline, took a break from revising for their AS exams to raise money for CAFOD by joining the abseil, whilst David, 20, from Basildon, who has recently recovered from a brain tumour, was after the adrenaline rush.

Parish Volunteer Patrick, from Grays, took everything in his stride and was totally relaxed, as he took part with fellow Grays parishioners, Howard and Joanna. Pupils from St Peter’s Primary School, Dagenham, challenged Gareth to do the abseil – well done, Sir.

We will have places in the 2011 annual 110ft Charity Abseil, organised by Rotary Club of Harlow Tye…so if you’re looking for a challenge, contact our Brentwood office at brentwood@cafod.org.uk
