Tandem Sky Dive & Now Abseiling

September 2023, I did my first ever tandem sky dive from 15,000 feet at Sailsbury, Dorset.  This year I am attempting to do an abseiling attempt from Air Ambulance helipad at Whitechapel London.   London's Air Ambulance Charity abseil team and I will attempt to descend The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel from 17 floors up. The free hang aspect (no body contact with the wall!) only adds to the sense of exhilaration as we experience the East London skyline from a whole new angle.

I'm Abseiling to help save lives in London

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Your donation will help save more lives by keeping the helicopter in the air and the rapid response cars on the road, ready for when they are needed most. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London’s Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

I will be abseiling from the home of London's Air Ambulance Charity one the 17th Floor of The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.
