DAREDEVILS took part in the ultimate challenge yesterday when they abseiled down the side of one of the region's best known landmarks for charity.
More than 50 people took part in the abseil down the side of the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough, which is 160ft high, to raise funds for the Marie Curie Cancer Care. The money will go towards the practical, hands-on nursing care provided by Marie Curie Cancer Nurses in the region.
Carol Oliver, community fundraising manager for the charity, said: "We are delighted to have held our first Transporter Bridge abseil.
"We know that there is a lot of support for our work in the area and hopefully the event will have helped us fund more vital hours of Marie Curie nursing services in people's homes.
