DAREDEVIL slimmer Sharon Orford, from New Ferry, raised £56 for Childline North West when she abseiled down Liverpool's 120 foot John Moore's University tower building.
Slimming World consultant Sharon took up the ultimate challenge to stress to her Wednesday class members that losing weight is almost the same as walking down the side of a building.
Explained Sharon: "The first step is the most difficult, but after that it's easier with plenty of support and the belief 'you can do it' one step at a time. When I reached the bottom, I felt elated. It was like when I reached my target weight when I lost five stone."
