I'm abseiling the 'Wheel of Dublin' in the morning... aaagh!

I can't believe I'm actually doing this... I'm abseiling off this yoke at 8.40 during Wednesday's morning rush hour, to raise funds for the Hope Foundation, my trip to Everest in October, and street kids in Calcutta.

We're running a text pledge line on 98FM while I'm doing it - text HOPE to 53981 (from 730am to 9.30am tomorrow)

Other donations can be made through my ''Everest Training Blog'' on 98FM.com

Mike O'Shea from 'Work at Height' is holding the rope with me, and two of my friends from Howth Coast Guard are going over the edge with me too.

Here's the guys at the recent launch of the Everest Expedition.
