## Go ‘Over the Edge’ for an abseil adventure on Peacehaven Cliffs in aid of the Martlets on Sunday July 26.

**Get a bird’s eye view** of the channel from the top of rocky cliffs before you abseil 115ft down the chalk face to the ground below.

The abseil is a sponsored challenge in aid of the Martlets Hospice, and could provide a great team building opportunity for local businesses and organisations whilst at the same time raising funds for this local charity.

Absolutely no experience is needed to take part; just a sense of adventure, a head for heights and nerves of steel.

Despite the height of the abseil, it is a well-used route with permanent bolts on it and it is open to anyone aged 8 to 80.

All equipment will be provided and experienced instructors will ensure that it is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone taking part.

**Event, organiser Clem Hunnisett said:** *“We are delighted to be able to offer this fundraising challenge. Although it is a physical event, it is something that anyone can do, and we’d love to see more teams of families or colleagues sign up.”*

Last year, **Claire Docteur** along with her husband **Kenny** and her sister **Tracey Colwell** took part, and raised over £300 for the Martlets.

**Claire said:** *“When I first mentioned it to Kenny, he laughed and then agreed – why not! It’s an amazing achievement and an incredible experience.”*

The registration fee for the event is £20 and the Martlets are asking everyone who takes part to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

The Martlets receive less than a third of its funding via the NHS it relies on fundraising to provide its services free to local people when they need them.
