Hundreds of people are preparing to abseil 130ft off the roof of the Aviva stadium today in aid of the Chernobyl Children's Project
'Abseil1000' is an event organised to raise funds for the charity in the year of the 25th anniversary of the Meltdown of reactor 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear plant.
The aim is to facilitate the development of “Homes of Hope” for the children still affected generations later.
This event is being organised by a group of enthusiastic volunteers under the guidance of Mike O’ Shea of Work at Height Training.
Members of the public can join in the fun today and tomorrow for a contribution of €150 per abseil, with 100% of funds raised going to Chernobyl Children Internaional.
