Community development manager Fokrul Hoque-Misfah has kept his fear of heights a secret, until now. The Tower Hamlets resident is joining a team of ten to take part in the Canary Wharf abseil challenge, to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. The charity supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses.
“Cancer is not something that just affects one group of people. It affects us all whether we are young or old, black or Asian, white, male or female” said Fokrul.
“Almost everyone knows someone who has been directly or indirectly been affected so please join in and help fund the research into finding a cure.
“As for me abseiling down anything let alone a tall building, well I've never really done something like this before. My legs turn to jelly when I’m up high and this isvery much new territory for me. I really hope that the community will all join in and contribute to this really worthy cause.”
