A father and stepson in law conquer Sydney Harbour Bridge

Whilst on holiday in Australia Alan Higgins and his Stepson in Law Stuart were determined to raise funds for LOROS whilst conquering Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The bridge, which spans the world's most spectacular harbour, is the world's tallest steel arch bridge and runs 134 metres from the highest point to the water below; that is quite a climb!

Debbie Dickman, Community Fundraising Co-ordinator at LOROS, said: "Alan and Stuart have surely ticked off one of their bucket list wishes by climbing this iconic bridge - what a wonderful achievement.

"We are delighted that, amongst all their excitement, they still found time to raise £443 for the Hospice and we would like to thank them very much for doing so."
