The Tyne Bridge Abseil organised by Rehab UK's Newcastle Brain Injury Centre was a great success - despite snow and winds!
The event took place on 6th April 2008
33 people descended the rope - one person even doing it twice loved because he it so much!
£516 was collected in cash on the day from the abseil with more to come.
£160 collected from volunteer service-users who undertook a sponsored walk around the quayside.
£132 was added from a dress down day.
All of this helped to mark Brain Injury Awareness Week 313st March to 6th April.
