Climb to the top of The Kelpies and fundraise for Maggie's Forth Valley
Climbing to the top of The Kelpies will be an unforgettable experience – and you can do it while raising vital funds for Maggie’s Forth Valley.
As the charity marks 30 years of providing free expert cancer care across the UK, and nine years since the centre opened in the grounds of Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, people are being asked to sign up for The Kelpies Experience and raise funds.
Every step and pound raised will help Maggie’s Forth Valley continue to provide cancer support to those who need it most.
The Kelpies Experience is the first ever guided aerial exploration of the world largest equine sculptures.
Those taking park embark on an exhilarating climb to the horse’s mouth via a network of cables, ladders and suspended platforms. Then, feel the thrill as they descend with a free-hanging abseil or the breathtaking Quick Flight rope drop.
Climb inside these iconic sculptures and uncover the history and stories behind one of Scotland’s iconic landmarks.
Carrigan Kerr, centre fundraising manager at Maggie’s Forth Valley said: “We are excited to be able to offer this adrenaline fuelled challenge for a second year for Maggie’s supporters. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or looking to conquer your fears, this is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself this Spring.
"It’s a fun way to raise money for Maggie’s Forth Valley so we can continue to support people affected by cancer and their friends and family.”
