We loved every minute of the Action Duchenne abseil. The team spirit was strong and knowing that we were all partaking for such a worthy cause made swallowing our fear and taking the plunge that by easier. We can’t wait for the next fundraising adventure

Nicole Greenfield-Smith (Aunt) 

Join the Extreme Abseil 2020 team and descend 418 feet down the tallest permanent abseil tower in the world! 

North v South Abseil Challenge

On 15 April 2017 our very own Community Fundraisers Sam and Helen took on the the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London. The UK’s highest freefall abseil from the UK’s highest sculpture. It was a fantastic day, despite some nerves, everyone did an amazing job, and we did it! 

Following close on the heels, on 21 May, Team North, abseiled down the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge (the tallest structure abseil in the North East, standing in at 165ft). 

Both of these challenges are available throughout the year (weather permitting). If you would to take part in North or South Abseils call 020 7250 8240. Registration fee is only £25 with a sponsorship target of £250.

Members of the Support Team would call just to let me talk, vent, cry — whatever I needed. They were simply there, and that’s why I choose to support them every …

Louise’s London Marathon Story

Louise’s London Marathon Story Written by Louise Ruddick “My relationship with Action Duchenne came about very spontaneously at the beginning of January this year.
