ARE YOU SCARED OF HEIGHTS?

Press release:

For the first time, Manchester United FC will host an abseil from the North Stand into Old Trafford to raise life-saving funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Please encourage family and friends to get together for this unique and truly exhilarating challenge!

Go on, be a 'Red Devil'! Strap on your safety harness and face your fears, ready for this 120-foot descent from the world famous stadium on the weekend on 28/29 October 2006.

No experience is necessary and you only need to be of average fitness to take part after a few minutes training. Due to the nature of this event there is a maximum 18-stone weight restriction.

We ask participants to raise a minimum sponsorship of £100, which includes a £15 deposit. The fundraiser who raises the most money will receive a pair of football boots signed by Rio Ferdinand.

To take part, please contact Natalie Cossins, Regional Fundraising Manager - Greater Manchester, on 0845 859 1064 or email ncossins@cftrust.org.uk
