The recent CLIC Sargent Christmas Cracker Festive abseil has proved to be a great day and is set to raise more than £3,000 to help children with cancer.
One Rudolph took an unusual descent down Exeter University building to kick start the Christmas abseil. Antonella Sardu, dressed as Rudolph tackled the 80 foot drop when she joined Mrs. Claus, an Elf, a team of jolly Santa’s and a pantomime cow!
Antonella, from Plymouth, said: "It was such great fun to join so many festive folk all crazily climbing down the side of a building dressed in the most wonderful costumes. And all to help raise money for such a great cause. It was such good fun and a great personal challenge. To see Exeter from the top of the building was very special and then to climb down the outside of a building – it's not something you do everyday!
"I was pleased to be able to raise money to help those families living with childhood cancer and am looking forward to trying a new challenge for CLIC Sargent in 2009."
