    Yes thats what i thought, i have a terrible fear of heights, but this might just get me over that. Be worth it for the money I would raise. Want to do a black tie event next spring as well, but need to plan that. Plus it helps keeping busy like this, putting my energy in to something so worth while.

    Thanks Deb

    Didnt think it would take so much organising, rotas to do BBQ, making sure mitch will be ok behind the bar, music getting raffle and Auction prizes. But it is all so worth while..I intend to do lots more events as well. Want to make dads wish reality for him.
