Laura Dyer: Abseiling Success For Stroke Association

March 19, 2014 By Janet Williams 3 Comments

This is Laura with a confident smile. Laura completed her abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth last Sunday.

Laura made abseiling 100m down the Spinnaker Tower look easy.

Physiotherapist Laura Dyer from Chandler’s Ford raised over £500 for the Stroke Association. How did Laura feel about her challenge (or, madness)?

“I absolutely loved it. It was terrifying stepping over the ledge at the top but an amazing view on the way down. I was very lucky to have my friends and family cheering for me at the bottom, and most importantly have raised over £500 for the Stroke Association. My thanks to everyone who supported me.”

By Laura Dyer, who successfully abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower for the Stroke Association, on 16th March 2014.

Well done, Laura!
