Sponsored Abseil down the Ipswich Hospital Maternity Block

  On Sunday, 8th July 2001, Mr Moore and Miss Doran abseiled several hundred feet down the side of the Maternity Block of Ipswich Hospital, to raise money for Friends of Sprites. They said that the worst bit was going over the edge at the top! There are small images of their descent below - if you click on them, you can see a larger version of the same image.

Altogether, about 3,000 people descended the tower in the course of the weekend, including six Sprites children, for various worthy causes.

Here comes Miss Doran!
