A CANCER charity is searching for brave Worcestershire people to volunteer for a challenge with a bird's eye view.

The Anthony Nolan Trust is offering people the opportunity to abseil 120ft down a cliff at Symonds Yat.

The trust provides unrelated blood stem cell donors to thousands of young people suffering from diseases such as leukaemia whose last chance of survival is a bone marrow transplant.

The organisation is hoping to raise £9,000, which will allow 180 people to be put on the register.

Area manager John Chatfield said they ran the event last autumn and it was so popular that they decided to offer those who missed out the chance to take part this time.

"It really is a great opportunity to visit a beautiful part of the countryside and by taking part people will be helping raise vital funds for us," said Mr Chatfield.

The event is open to complete beginners and will be run be qualified instructors.
