Take a leap of faith in aid of a good cause

Sir, If you’ve ever wondered how it would feel to swing off a 150ft crane, then now is your chance to find out.

The Stroke Association’s exciting event ‘The Big Swing’ returns to the Titan Crane in Clydebank, for the 2016 event this Sunday June 19.

If you are the sort of person who likes challenging events such as abseils and skydives, then this is the ideal thrill for an adventure-seeker.

It’s also a great challenge for a first-timer who is looking to achieve something new. It is guaranteed to be a memorable, adrenaline-fuelled experience for everyone who takes part. Everyone who took part in the previous events loved it, even those with a fear of heights.

Registration costs £15 and fundraisers are asked to raise a minimum of £145 in sponsorship. The money generated at this event will go towards the charity’s work supporting people who have had a stroke in Scotland.

Participants must be aged 16 or over on the day of the event and full tutoring will be given by our friendly, professional instructors on the day.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis so interested people are advised to register as soon as possible. Please note participants will be required to climb the stairs of the crane.

For more information and to register, please call 0131 555 7251 or email bigswing@stroke.org.uk. Online registration is available at www.stroke. org.uk/ bigswing.

There is also a video from a previous event on the website showing what it is like to take part in the Big Swing.
