“We wanted to make this
years event different and we are so excited to be able to use
England 's highest waterfall which is right on our doorstep!
Getting wet will be exhilarating and certainly more challenging.
Places are limited so we ask all those interested to sign up
now! ‘Over The Edge' gives people a chance to experience a challenge
event and also raise vital funds for Rowcroft.”
The participants are
in very safe hands, with CRS adventures, based at River Dart
Country Park , back on board for this event. They will ensure
you are fully briefed and kitted out before you go ‘Over The
Edge'. It also promises to be a great day out for participants
and their supporters- with competitions and entertainment.
The abseil is open to
anyone- no experience necessary. As long as you are over the
age of 11 you can enter. You can enter as an individual or as
a team- so why not enter your sports team, your family, your
class or your neighbourhood!
“We would love to see
company, sports, pub or school teams entering this year- it's
a great way to boost morale and have a giggle together.
The entry fee is just
£15 for adults and £10 for the under 16's. All we
ask is that you raise a minimum of £75 and children just
£50. Or for a team booking you can book a block of 10
abseils for just £100- minimum sponsorship per person
still applies. You can collect sponsorship through forms or
online with your own webpage at www.justgiving.com
an easy and efficient way to collect sponsorship. Closing date
for entry for the abseil is the 3rd August
and places fill fast.
Rowcroft Hospice is a
charity, providing specialist care to people with life limiting
illnesses living in Torbay and South Devon . The hospice was
founded in 1982 and since then, with the support of local people,
it has expanded to provide an even greater range of services.
Care is provided, to over 1000 people every year, through our
ward, hospice at home, community team, lymphoedema clinic and
day services. This care includes physical, emotional and spiritual
support to patients and their families. It costs £4.4
million to run Rowcroft for a year - over £12,000 per
day. The NHS funds 29% of our costs, but the rest – over £3
million - is raised from voluntary contributions.
