An unforgettable adventure unfolded as young thrill-seekers, Ella (17) and Tegan Hemming (15), took on the iconic i360 experience in Brighton. This adrenaline-pumping descent from a towering structure was not only a test of courage but also a heartwarming effort to make a positive impact on the community.
The sister duo’s commitment reached new heights as they not only faced the challenge head-on but also successfully raised over £500 in support of the Sussex Community NHS Trust. Their dedication to improving healthcare is truly commendable, and the funds raised are poised to contribute significantly to important community health initiatives.
Eyerising International, a leading advocate for eye health, proudly sponsored the young adventurers. In addition to supporting their daring escapade, the sponsorship aimed to raise awareness for the treatment of myopia in children.
This thoughtful addition underscores the importance of addressing health issues, particularly those affecting young children, to build a healthier and stronger community.
Myopia, a condition where distant objects appear blurred, poses serious risks such as retinal degeneration, detachment, open-angle glaucoma, and cataracts, even in childhood. Eyerising International’s commitment to raising awareness aligns with its broader mission of advocating for eye health and well-being in the local community.
Kudos to all involved, from the organisers and sponsors who orchestrated this thrilling experience to the participants who fearlessly descended for the cause, and the supporters who rallied behind them.
This event transcends the thrill of the descent, leaving a lasting positive impact on communities and emphasising the power of adventure for a greater purpose.
