Charity supporters abseil Northampton’s iconic Lift Tower
On Saturday 27th September, five brave fundraisers took on the iconic Northampton Lift Tower in aid of PWSA UK.
The intrepid group of fundraisers included staff members, trustees and family members who have a loved one with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare, complex genetic condition which causes hyperphagia – a constant, insatiable feeling of starvation – as well as physical and cognitive difficulties. At present, there is no cure.
Standing at 418 feet, the Grade II listed Lift Tower is one of the tallest permanent abseil towers in the world.
The journey to the bottom of the 418ft Grade II listed Lift Tower tested the teams' nerves while raising money for PWSA UK, a national charity that provides guidance, support and advocacy for those living with Prader-Willi Syndrome and their families.
Donations to support the team’s challenge can be made via: https://www.pwsa.co.uk/donations
Funds raised will enable PWSA UK to continue delivering its vital services, from a national helpline and resources to specialist advice, family support and awareness-raising initiatives.
