Wessex Cancer Trust is looking for 12 brave supporters to take on a brand new challenge this summer.

The charity is inviting 12 brave individuals to join them during the afternoon of Sunday September 24 to experience an amazing adrenaline rush while supporting local families affected by cancer.

The sponsored abseil challenge takes on a 100-metre descent down the side of Portsmouth’s iconic landmark, the Spinnaker Tower. 

With unmissable views across Portsmouth harbour, the Solent and the Isle of Wight, there is no better way to experience life on the edge.

Participants will receive a photo, GoPro footage of their descent and a medal.

Those interested in taking part should click here and pay the £50 registration fee.

Any questions can be answered by emailing fundraising@wessexcancer.org.uk or calling 02380 672200.
