FOLLOWING on from the success of last year’s fundraising Abseil Challenge at Thomond Park, cancer support charity Recovery Haven Kerry is doing it all again – albeit at a new location.

This time, organisers are inviting participants to scale the walls of Limerick’ historic King John’s Castle, with registration now open for the October 19th event.

The charity has once again teamed up with Nevsail Watersports & Adventures to offer this extremely unique abseiling experience, scaling from the amazing vantage point of the castle gatehouse turret and absorbing the view of Limerick’s rooftop, while descending the historic walls.

PR & Marketing officer at Recovery Haven, Marisa Reidy, explained that the abseil is a follow-on from the charity’s hugely successful event at Thomond Park last year, which raised over €17,000 for the charity. Spaces are limited, however – so early registration is hugely important.

“With so many charities seeking the public’s support to raise much-needed funds, we always try to offer a fundraising opportunity that is different and fun. So having seen how well last year’s event went, we decided to do it again, but change it up a bit with a new location,” she said.

“As well as an individual challenge, the event is also ideal as a corporate or team building day out, or a great end of season get together for sports teams and clubs.”

Anyone interested in signing up for the abseil can do so by logging onto www.recoveryhavenkerry.com and clicking the event section; via Recovery Haven Kerry’s social media platforms or directly via the following link:  https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/AbseilChallengeatKingJohnsCastle/Ticket?

A €50 deposit is required at registration, after which participants are asked to raise an additional €250 (minimum) for the charity.

This can be paid in full at registration, or if you prefer, can be fundraised in the weeks leading up to the event by setting up a fundraising page or through sponsorship cards available from Recovery Haven.
