Things looking up for Urban Descent

Today is the big day for the brave souls who are taking part in the Urban Descent fundraiser for the Sir David Martin Foundation.

If you find yourself at Sydney’s Circular Quay today you may glimpse Mission Australia’s CEO, Toby Hall, descending from the top of the AMP Building as part of the challenge.

Toby will be joined by Sir David Martin Foundation General Manager, Jannine Jackson, and Missionbeat Manager Daniel Petsalis. For Daniel, the 87-metre abseil will be his first fundaiser involving heights.

Urban Descent begins at 8am, with the last brave abseiler landing on terra firma at 4.30pm. If you’re in Sydney, get along and show your support!

The Sir David Martin Foundation provides funding for a number of Mission Australia’s youth services. All monies raised will assist the Sir David Martin Foundation fund their youth in crisis projects. One of the Sir David Martin Foundation’s key programs is the Triple Care Farm, which provides an environment of peace and healing for emotionally hurt and troubled young people aged 16 to 24.
