Awesome Abseil

It’s back! Following the huge success of Dravet Syndrome UK’s first Awesome Abseil in 2023, we’re about to test your nerve and bravery again this year.

Join us and conquer your fears by taking on a 100m descent of the Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth on Saturday 5th September.

Dravet Syndrome is a rare, life-long and life limiting neurological condition. It includes seizures, intellectual disability and a range of associated health conditions such as autism, ADHD, difficulties with mobility, eating and speech. Dravet Syndrome affects one in every 15,000 people in the UK.

This incredible challenge, in the name of charity, will no doubt be adrenaline-filled, exhilarating and hugely rewarding. To register, click here.
