OKEHAMPTON resident Julie Woollett faced her fears to abseil off Meldon Viaduct for charity recently.

Julie took on the 100 foot descent off the viaduct on July 23 to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

She took on the challenge instead of doing the Race for Life to ‘do something a little different’.

She has beaten her £500 target and raised around £700. To donate visit www.justgiving.com/rigsystems
