In bids to raise money, Teens Unite decided to take on the Tower Abseil event, held at Broadgate Tower in London. With over 110 participants spread over the two days, the team traipsed up over 33 stories high to then abseil down the 540ft tower. Alongside a number of participants is Rita Pezzani a 92 year old lady, battling out the challenge with her son and two granddaughters to raise money for what is such an important charity, founded by daughter-in-law Debbie Pezzani.

Rita Pezzani commented “You have to make the most of life you have been given. At 92, I’m still fit and healthy and after watching Teens Unite‘s abseil challenge previously, it was something I wanted to be a part of. The young people supported by Teens Unite have to overcome so many challenges during their fight against cancer. Now it’s my turn to take on the challenge to help them“.
