A man has recently faced his fears and took on a 100 foot abseil for a great cause.
Chris De Rosa, 48, joined hundreds of thrill seekers to take on the infamous Falkirk Wheel Abseil in a bid to raise funds for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Chris, who is an award-winning illusionist from Cambuslang, was first introduced to SBH Scotland when he performed at the charity's Ladies Lunch fundraiser in 2018 and was moved by the inspiring stories from families across the country who are supported by the specialist charity.
He continued:"It’s important to me to give back and I regularly donate or fundraise for smaller charities who don’t receive as much government support as bigger organisations." “However, as soon as I started to descend my fears vanished and I felt a rush of exhilaration take over. I’m already looking at what challenge I can take on next and have my eye on the Zipslide the Clyde later this year."
Deborah Roe, director of fundraising, for SBH Scotland, said:"We were thrilled to bring back our Falkirk Wheel Abseil challenge for its third year. £31,000 was raised and this will ensure our support workers can provide dedicated support to parents across Scotland.
