Zipwire for care rights

We did it! We rode the world's fastest zipwire to raise funds for Care Rights UK!

We had to push our fear of heights to the limits. It was very high (1555 meters) and very fast (100+ mph). We were terrified, but we survived!

Thanks so much to everyone who donated. Your support means the world to us, and made all the fear worthwhile! It was all for an excellent cause.

Care Rights UK supports people in the most vulnerable of situations - older and disabled people who need care. Throughout the pandemic we heard first-hand (via our adviceline) the terrible impact of isolation in care settings. We are campaigning for a new legal right to a Care Supporter - a relative or friend who can be there when we're using health or care services. No-one should ever be isolated from the support they need. No-one should ever have to die alone again.

There is still time to donate to support this vital campaign. Please help us to reach our target!

Watch our terrifying experience in our video.

Many thanks,

Helen and Richard
