🚨 I’m Abseiling the Spinnaker Tower — and I’m Terrified of Heights! 🧗‍♂️😱

In a moment of either bravery or madness, I’ve signed up to abseil 100 metres down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth — all to raise money for a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart: Endometriosis South Coast 💛

💔 Why This Matters

My wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis in 2018 after being rushed into emergency surgery — we’d only known each other for two months at the time.

Since then, endo has been a huge part of our lives:

  • 5 surgeries in 6 years

  • Countless A&E visits

  • Sleepless nights

  • And way too many moments of watching someone I love go through unbearable pain

It’s a brutal condition that affects 1 in 10 women and AFAB people, yet it’s still so misunderstood and underdiagnosed. It’s not "just bad periods" — it can impact every part of life, from work to relationships to fertility and beyond.

💪 Why I’m Doing This

I’ve seen the impact of endometriosis up close. And I want to do something to support my wife and the thousands of others facing this every day.

Endometriosis South Coast is a small, local charity doing amazing work providing support, information, and community to people living with endo. Every penny raised helps them continue their mission 🙌

😅 Did I Mention I’m Scared of Heights?

Yep. Terrified. So leaning backwards over the edge of a 100m tower is way out of my comfort zone — but that’s the point. Because people living with endo face fear and uncertainty every single day.

💛 Please Donate If You Can

Whether it’s £2 or £20 — every bit helps. Thank you for reading, thank you for donating, and thank you for helping me make a difference.

Let’s do this — for my wife, and for everyone battling endometriosis. 💪💛
