The Suffolk Abseil is open to people of all ages and fitness
levels. Either register as a daring individual or rope in a
team and take the plunge together. (Parental consent is required
for those aged 16 or under).
Mark Fox Community Fundraiser for Suffolk said 'It promises
to be great day and we are encouraging everyone to take part
as this is a once in a lifetime experience. All participants
will feel a real sense of achievement once they have conquered
their fears and taken the plunge. We feel this is a challenge
that many people really want to do'
Each year 3,500 people in Suffolk are told they have cancer.
Advances in diagnosis and treatments also mean more people are
living with cancer for longer. This is increasing the Pressure
on Macmillan Services and the need for your support. With you
alongside us supporting our work, Macmillan can give more people
living with cancer the support they need. The Suffolk Abseil
aims to raise upwards of £5000 to help fund a whole range
of cancer services in Suffolk that make a huge difference to
the lives of local cancer patients.
