At a time of life when most of us would be thinking of taking it easy, Christine Smith, one of our long-serving volunteers, has decided to abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth in aid of Brent Lodge!

The Spinnaker Tower is 170 metres high, making it taller than the London Eye, Blackpool Tower and Big Ben!

Christine will abseil down the tower on Saturday 28^th July at 1.20 p.m. and would like to ask you to sponsor her to complete this massive challenge. And if you can persuade any of your friends, relatives, or work colleagues to sponsor her too, that would be even better!

We would like to thank Christine in advance and wish her good luck... she is most definitely braver (or madder) than any of us !!

Please support Christine by asking your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor her in her brave challenge. Every penny raised will go directly towards the care of the wildlife at Brent Lodge.

A sponsorship form is available for download here And if any sponsors pay tax, please make sure the Gift Aid box is ticked so that we can claim money from HM Revenue & Customs too. Please send completed sponsorship forms and payment to Christine’s Challenge, Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital, Cow Lane, Sidlesham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 7LN. Thank you!

We will let you know how Christine gets on via our web site, Facebook, and in our next newsletter.
