Abseiling for World Challenge

This month Hannah W (Lower Sixth) was one of 65 challengers who took part in the Blade abseil down the tallest building in Reading.  Hannah signed herself up for the abseil to raise money for her World Challenge, which will see her and a group of other Sixth Formers from Pipers travel to Uganda for three weeks in the summer. 

Hannah said “I wasn’t sure what to expect, but in the end I really loved the experience and have no fear of heights. I raised about £300 in sponsorships to abseil down the Blade, which has 14 floors.  Collectively all the 65 people who abseiled on the day raised £16,000 for their World Challenge trips. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that I would do again any day if I got the chance and would recommend it to others.”
