Wheel abseil for Maggie’s
Maggie’s Forth Valley is hoping people with a head for heights will take part in their first fundraising abseil.
The event, on Saturday, March 11, takes place at the Falkirk Wheel and will see people abseil off the world’s first and only rotating boat lift.
No experience is necessary as expert guidance will be provided throughout.
Centre fundraising manager Cristina Pouso said: “If anyone is looking to take on a new challenge and start the year with a bang then signing up to our abseil fits the bill.
“This will be our first abseil and a great way to raise money for Maggie’s Forth Valley so we can continue to support people affected by cancer in our community. Spaces are limited so don’t delay in signing up. Everyone taking part gets a free t-shirt.”
It’s £25 to register with a £150 individual sponsorship target, with all money raised going to Maggie’s Forth Valley. Contact the fundraising team on 01324 868078, email forthvalleyfundraising@maggiescentres.org or visit the Maggie’s Forth Valley Facebook page.
Since Maggie’s opened their first centre in 1996, the charity has developed a programme of support that is proven to help people with cancer and their loved ones take back control.
Maggie’s Forth Valley relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to be able to offer this high quality, professional support.
Since the start of the pandemic Maggie’s has been supporting people with cancer by phone, email and digitally. The centre is now open to see people by appointment and drop in.
To find out more about their work visit the centre at The Nina Barough Building, off Quintinshill Drive, Larbert FK5 4SG or get in touch on 01324 868078 or Cristina. pouso@maggiescentres.org.
