The intrepid three were joined by three daring members of staff (Vicky Gaskell, Ebony Utting and Natalie Bodsworth) from the Leicester office of the Hope Foundation’s solicitors, Freeth Cartwright,one of the East Midlands’ most prominent law firms. The group have raised an impressive total of over £2100. 

After they were all safely back on solid ground, Vicki said “it was an amazing experience and a fantastic opportunity to raise money for Hope”. Rebecca commented, ”it was unbelievable, an incredible experience and a really exciting way to raise money for the Hope Foundation, ‘thank you’ to everyone who supported us.”

The Hope Foundation funds cancer research posts at Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester University, helping to fight against a disease which could affect any one of us during our lifetime.  For more information about the Leicester and Rutland based charity, please visit www.hfcr.org
