Daring descent of Fairhead raises almost 拢40,000 for Little Heroes charity

The abseil was in support of Little Heroes, a charity dedicated to helping young patients at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast for Sick Children. The sun-drenched Saturday saw not only stunning views and adrenaline-filled action but also a powerful display of community spirit, with close to 拢40,000 raised in donations. Spectators and supporters gathered to cheer on the courageous participants, with added entertainment from a local cheerleading troupe who performed just before each group made their descent.

Among the abseilers was Tracey Roberts from Ballycastle who personally raised an impressive 拢1,100. Tracey said: 鈥淚鈥檓 incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me.
