The event, on March 16, is held annually and aims to raise vital funds for the Midlands-based hospice which provides palliative care to those in need.
As well as the hospices themselves, Myton’s teams are also on hand for the friends and relatives of those they care for, to ensure they are supported through what is a challenging and stressful time.
It is the fourth time Natasha has done the abseil which she signed up to do first in March 2020.
She said: “It took 20 minutes to climb to the top but only 10 minutes to get down!
“It was a lovely day, and I always enjoy meeting people who have their own special reason for taking part in the challenge.
“It was nice to have so many people come out to support us, and I can’t believe we have already thrashed our £34,000 target!”
Although Natasha has already beaten her personal target of raising £200, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/natasha-blackmore-da-silva3 if you would like to add to her total.
