FIVE nurses from St Ann’s Hospice are appealing for local people to join them in a daring abseil challenge in aid of their patients.

Lynsey Ayers, Kat Pointon, Suzanne Vale, Kay Maddison and Kirsty Bull from St Ann’s Hospice are taking part in a free hanging descent abseil in the Manchester Velodrome to raise money for the charity.

The challenge is taking place at the Velodrome on 3 November and there is a registration fee of £45 to take part.
