St. Patrick's Day Drop

By the end of the 7th century many legends had developed about Saint Patrick.

One says he charmed all the snakes in Ireland and led them to the sea to drown.

Another, probably the most popular, is that Saint Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to unbelievers.

This is probably why shamrocks, now Ireland's national flower, are worn by the Irish on St Patrick's Day.

At The Stroke Association, we like to celebrate past legends. The St. Patrick's Day Drop Abseil has been organised to raise much needed funds for The Stroke Association.

We are following on from the success of our Liverpool Rocks! Abseil which raised over £90,000 for The Stroke Association.

The world famous Manchester Velodrome is home to the Great Britain Cycling Team. This 90ft freefall abseil is absolutely fantastic. I should know, I abseiled it four times last year.

So don't have a paddy - face your fears and come and join us for a fantastic and memorable experience.

All we ask for is a £10 entry fee to cover the costs of setting up the event, plus a minimum sponsorship of £75 -
although you can raise more!
