Hospice challenges thrill-seekers with bungee jump and abseil
St Elizabeth Hospice is offering adrenaline junkies the chance to take on Suffolk's tallest abseil or a bungee jump to raise funds this August.
What's happening: People who enjoy the idea of launching themselves off tall buildings are being given the choice of a 140ft bungee jump or abseil – the tallest in Suffolk.
- Both events will take place along Ipswich Waterfront
- Participants will start their descent from a crane near MIX Café + Bar
Why it matters: The fundraiser supports St Elizabeth Hospice's vital services for patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses across East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
What they're saying: "Both the bungee jump and the abseil – the tallest in Suffolk – are sure to appeal to thrill-seekers, while also providing stunning views of the Ipswich skyline to take in," said James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at St Elizabeth Hospice.
How to participate:
- Pledge to raise a minimum of £250 for the hospice
- Pay a £49 registration fee
- Book tickets at www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/event/abseiling-bungee-jump
The bottom line: These unique challenges offer locals a chance to push their limits while supporting an important cause in the community.
