Over the weekend, a local Milton Keynes woman faced her fears and abseiled down a 418ft abseil tower, known as the UK’s tallest abseil tower, to raise money for a children’s charity.
Valerie from Playful Pottery, in Shenley Church End, abseiled down the National Lift Tower, measured to be 418ft tall and announced as the UK’s tallest abseiling tower, this past Saturday, July 13, to raise funds for charity Little Miracles.
Valerie aims to raise at least £1,000 for Little Miracles, a charity that helps children with life limiting conditions, additional needs, and disabilities. The charity has a branch located in Milton Keynes, along with 17 other branches across the UK.
Valerie told MKFM, “I was terrified but determined to do it for the Little Miracles charity. We have nearly reached our goal of £1000 but still have a little way to go so still need your donations no matter how small. If all of our 2000 followers on Facebook had donated £1 we would raise £2000 just from that!”
Little Miracles, run by volunteers, was founded to enable everyone to feel the happiness that comes from having a family. A place where good memories are created and where there is safety, understanding, and friendship.
The Playful Pottery Just Giving page will be open until the end of August but Valerie and the team welcome people to feel free to pop in and drop their spare change in the donation box.
Little Miracles offer families counselling, family support, educational support, friendship groups and so much more. The children are able to access school holiday activities, sensory support, play therapy, alternative therapies, and anger therapy at no cost to the family.
