New Adrenalin Rush

Well .. racing season is over so i was looking for a new adrenalin rush to ammuse myself with...

I came up with this.. A 100 ft abseil to raise money for 'parity for disability'

It is a registered charity which is raising money to provide vital services, information and support for children and young people with multiple disabilities in hampshire, surrey & berkshire.

Any of your spare change you have lying around now that you dont have to spend it on all fuel for racing would be welcome

Thanks Ashleigh
