On October 6th 2018, Kate & Peter Edwards will be doing the UK’s highest freefall abseil from the UK’s tallest sculpture - The ArcelorMittal Orbit. It is 262 feet high and is located in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Why? That’s a good question, and one that we will probably be asking on the day as we are strapped into our harnesses, however, all jokes aside, Hoveraid have spent the few last decades reaching the unreachable, providing regular healthcare, emergency aid, water, sanitation and community health projects, mostly with a hovercraft, because they can fly over floods with ease. But this doesn’t happen without a lot of help.
This is a sponsored event, and if you are able to make a contribution, we would be very grateful. This can be done, either via the following website: https://wonderful.org/fundraiser/abseilingdownthearcelormittalorbit-c3b1a3ad or by popping something in an envelope into our postbox at 18 Elm Tree Road - feel free to address it to the “crazy abseilers” Thank you.
