On Sunday 26th September, I found myself standing on the edge of a hotel rooftop in Belfast.
Then, in one of the scariest moments of my life, I said my prayers and starting climbing down the front of the building to the ground (inspired by Spider-Man 😂).
Thankfully, I was attached to a (very strong) rope and, a few minutes later, I was celebrating the completion of a 50m abseil from the top of the Europa Hotel - also known as “the most bombed hotel in Europe”!
You may be wondering, why?!
You see, none of this would have been possible if I was blind. And unfortunately, there are many people who simply have to accept blindness as just another harsh reality in their lives. They don’t have a choice.
This is in support of Angel Eyes Northern Ireland, a fantastic charity dedicated to creating a fully inclusive society for blind & partially-sighted children, young people, and their families.
To have a child diagnosed with permanent visual impairment can have a devastating impact on the whole family. Angel Eyes’ vision is to provide every blind/partially-sighted child and young person equal access to everything they need to flourish in life - and they need all the help they can get to continue helping visually-impaired people to live their best lives.
I’ve set a donations target of £200 and would be grateful for anything you can spare to help support this worthy cause.

P.S. Thanks to Belfast Activity Centre, Angel Eyes NI, and especially Jane Robertson for this incredible opportunity :) what a morning!
