Taking place at Doncaster Royal Infirmary on 14 December, the festive 115ft decent costs £35 to register with a minimum sponsorship of £200.
Funds raised are used for projects around the Trust, for example, VIP bags, to support adult patients with learning disabilities during their hospital visits, and ‘Robi’ the surgical robot transforming cancer surgery.
Duncan Batty, Head of DBTH Charity, said: “We’re thrilled to host this exciting abseil event, which not only offers participants a unique, adrenaline-filled challenge but also an opportunity to make a real difference in our community.
“By stepping over the edge, they’re not just testing their courage but also helping to raise crucial funds that will directly support the lives of patients and staff across our hospitals.
“Every person who takes part is contributing to something bigger than themselves, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
Over 20 years ago, the Trust hosted several abseils through connections with other charities.
2024 marks the first year of an abseil hosted by DBTH’s own charity.
Participants are encouraged to wear festive fancy dress for their daredevil decent.
We would like to thank our partners at Big Bang Promotions who have enabled us to host this event.
