Charity Abseil - Art Auction
It was a challenge but WE DID IT!
Last weekend Diane and our daughter Emily abseiled 110ft down the Humber Bridge to raise much needed funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.
Diane said 'the abseil down was fantastic, the sun was shining and the view across the estuary was stunning'! It was Emily's 19th birthday that day and she had been struggling with her fear of heights but after a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' from the team on the bridge and the spectators below she conquered her fear and completed the challenge! She admitted that she almost backed out but was really pleased with herself for going through with it!
I am so very proud of them both!
The Acorn Gallery has also been taking bids on a selection of artwork donated by the artists to support the cause. To see and bid on remaining items please visit www.theacorngallery.co.uk. RNLI collecting boxes will remain in The Acorn Gallery and Swirlz Ice-Cream Parlour for the next few weeks.
The pair have already raised over £400 and money is still coming in. To make any donation, great or small, please visit their fundraising page at www.virginmoneygiving.com/team/Wass
