Ben Darling is set to abseil 70 feet down the Pears Building at Royal Free Hospital, marking the first charity abseil on its campus. This challenge symbolizes his gratitude to the hospital staff for their care during his treatment for primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare autoimmune condition. Facing his fear of heights, he plans to tackle the abseil under the guidance of Royal Marines. Darling views this experience as part of his journey of gratitude and personal growth after a life-saving transplant.
"I'll never forget the care they gave me at the Royal Free Hospital. I want to make the most of this second chance."
"For someone who's a bit of a drama queen, I'm surprisingly good at keeping a cool head when I really need to."
