You saw me soaring alone!

Hundreds of brave folk are preparing to strap themselves in for the flight of their lives at the City of Manchester Stadium.

The Zipwire challenge, which is being held to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care, will see the region’s daredevils launch themselves along a 150 metre long wire from one side of the stadium to the other when it returns this October. Last year’s event certainly packed a real punch, with Ricky Hatton kicking off proceedings, and The Hitman is calling on Blues everywhere to support this exciting test of nerve!

• It only costs £10 to register.
• There are fantastic prizes on offer, including a signed City shirt, all-inclusive corporate hospitality for a game at the stadium, City Experience tours, match tickets and a signed football.
• Over £60,000 was raised for the charity at last year’s event.
• Just call Marie Curie Cancer Care on 0161 255 2809 or 07787 574 837 for more information or to register.

Jemma Halman, local Marie Curie Cancer Care Fundraising Manager, said: “This is your chance to get a unique view of this wonderful stadium, have an amazing experience and do something really positive at the same time. And while you’re zipping over the pitch in your harness you will know that the sponsorship raised will be helping the Marie Curie Nurses to give free one-to-one care to terminally ill people in the area.”

Hatton's got some work to do before his next fight!
