Beth finds her feet after crane abseil

-

A Stirling woman was amongst those who took on a daring challenge for charity.

Beth Milligan, 30, abseiled down the 150 foot Titan Crane in Glasgow.

Charity Finding Your Feet supported Beth and eight other of its inspiratio­nal Troopers to fulfil their ambition and abseil down the iconic Clydebank crane. Led by the charity’s founder, quadruple amputee, Corinne Hutton, the participan­ts ranged from adrenaline junkies to first-timers, and are all missing a limb or limbs.

Corinne, who is well known in the Kinlochard area, paid tribute to those who took part.

She said: “Finding Your Feet is all about supporting amputees to help them live life to the full and unleash their full potential. The adrenalin was pumping, as the Titan Crane abseil is certainly one of our tallest and terrifying challenges to date, but we were all incredibly excited to have faced it together.

“Being able to fund our Troopers to take part in once in a lifetime challenges such as the abseil is amazing and helps raise awareness of the terrific work the charity does. However, equally important are the day-today aspects of community support Finding Your Feet offers. From drop-in coffee mornings and garden clubs, to massage therapists and prosthetic advice, it is a vital lifeline to our Troopers and their families.”
