FEARLESS Sara-Jane Gray abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity – after a friend who signed up for the challenge was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to drop out. Sara-Jane, who is chairman of the Haslemere branch of The Royal Society of St George, has already doubled her fundraising target of £1,000.

“I am not afraid of heights – I was afraid of falling,” she said. “But how else can I raise money to fight this awful disease other than doing something that terrifies me?”
