BT Tower Abseil for RMA
30 fundraisers take on the iconic BT Tower for RMA – The Royal Marines Charity.
On Thursday 19 September, 30 brave fundraisers took on an extraordinary challenge, abseiling down London's iconic BT Tower to raise money for RMA – The Royal Marines Charity.
Standing at 627 feet tall, the BT Tower has been a landmark on London's skyline for more than 50 years. At the time of the event, it had only ever permitted two abseils, making this a particularly rare opportunity for the 30 fundraisers to join a very select group.
The challenge also featured live on ITV's Lorraine, with Dr Hilary taking on the abseil himself. Wearing a GoPro on his helmet, he descended the 627ft tower while providing updates throughout the programme, before being welcomed at the bottom by members of the Royal Marines.
It was a spectacular challenge in an iconic London location, raising funds and awareness for RMA – The Royal Marines Charity.
