London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil 2020 (corp)

Event date postponed

I just would like to inform you that my abseiling event was originally scheduled for 10th September 2020. Due to the rise in number of Covid-19 cases, London Air Ambulance decided to postpone it to 2021. I don't have a set date yet, but will keep you posted. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your generosity in supporting me on this challenge. 

Thank you very much!!!

Guitar Practice #1 - New challenge to learn to play a new guitar song.

The Challenge I signed up for

I'm abseiling 17 floors down from the Royal London Hospital in September. It's the highest helipad in Europe. 

It's a great challenge, I look forward to that.

A little story about myself

About 7 years ago, I started my journey around 8pm from Sao Paulo (Brazil) to the county side to visit my family, the distance was about 400 miles. I had a busy week and was more tired than usual, despite that, I decided to drive over night as I had done it many times in the past. Unfortunately when I was about 5 minutes to reach my destination, I fell asleep and lost control of my car and it fell into a ditch. My car was completely lost but thank God, he kept my life, I only broke my shoulder and had a lot of pain. I was amazed how the rescue team handled the situation, with care, love and all the support, taking me out of the car and taking me to the hospital. I decided that one day I would do something to contribute, and I got the opportunity to support a charity that's so supportive in a moment where human lives are most vulnerable. 

I really appreciate your support.

God bless you.
Thanks.
