Daredevils take plunge to raise thousands for hospice

DAREDEVILS raised thousands of pounds after taking the plunge for charity.

Myton Hospice’s two abseil events have raised some £76,000 so far – enough to fund the training and salary of two nurses for a year.

The most recent event saw 125 people make their way bravely down the side of Coventry Cathedral to raise money for the three hospices in Warwick, Coventry and Rugby.

The Incredibles, Superman, and t-shirts in memory of loved ones were some of the outfits worn on the day.




Family, friends, volunteers and staff spent the day cheering everyone on and passers-by stopped to watch.

Spokeswoman Rebecca Richards said: “We have been blown away by the support for our abseil events. The money raised by everyone who took part will make such a difference to people who are accessing Myton’s services – we really cannot thank you enough.”
