On Saturday 28th September, Leigh Christou team members took part in the Myton Hospice Charity Abseil down Coventry Cathedral and raised a fantastic £1,865 in the process!

The brave bunch did an amazing job during this adrenaline fuelled challenge and with the blue skies and sun shining over our beloved city, it was a great day out for all.

The Myton Hospice offers compassionate end of life care, providing support to thousands of people and their families. Every penny raised for them helps keep their services free of charge to patients and their loved ones.

Thank you ever so much to all those who donated and came down to show their support, we really do appreciate it!

There is still time to donate, so if you would like to make a contribution, please visit www.justgiving.com/page/leighchristou - Thank you!

They hope this adrenaline rush activity will raise as much money as possible for the Charity, which offers compassionate end of life care and provides support to thousands of people and their families. Every penny raised helps keep their services free of charge to their patients and their loved ones, so please help us and show your support to our staff who are facing their fears and taking on this brave challenge.
