Dare You Do The BIG Drop For Mito?

Events are back with a bang … or should we say with a big drop?!?

Our spectacular fundraiser this year will be an abseil at the iconic Wainhouse Tower, Halifax.

A rare opportunity for the daring to climb the 403 steps up the tallest folly in the world. Then abseil the 275 foot drop – taking in the most spectacular Yorkshire view. All whilst raising awareness and funds for our fantastic cause.

Would-be participants can register their interest here.
