Two language tutors from Shrewsbury languages school Bright Owls, are hoping to raise funds for Hope House children's hospices next month.
Marisa Fernandez and Julie Ball, have decided to take a bold leap out of their comfort zones - and they will be taking part in the zip wire challenge on October 12, when they aim to raise a minimum of £100 each.
Speaking of the fund-raising, Marisa said “Hope House children's hospices do a really fantastic job and I believe it’s important that anyone who possibly can, helps raise much needed funds for them.” She added “Although we're both nervous at participating on the zip wire, I know the event will be helping very special young people.”
People have already started sponsoring Marisa and Julie - but the appeal for support is opened out to the general public, as well as Bright Owls own customers.
Bright Owls are a language school based on Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury, offering a vast range of language opportunities to all ages and abilities. Call 01743 384179 for more information.
