DAREDEVILS are sought to dangle off the side of a 90 foot tall hospital building in aid of a local charity.
Fundraisers will be strapped into a harness to abseil down the outside of Northwick Park Hospital, in Watford Road, Harrow, on Saturday February 13 to help St Luke's Hospice, in Kenton Grange, Kenton.
The independent charity provides care to people with terminal illnesses from Harrow and Brent.
Jean Phillips, a school secretary, has already signed up for the occasion after taking the challenge last year.
She has suffered from Parkinson's Disease for the last four years and has the support of pupils at St Helen's School in Northwood, where she works.
Mrs Phillips said: "I may shake a little more than most at the top of the wall, but feel really safe and delighted that I can do my bit for such a worthy cause."
The charity only receives a third of funding from the government, making events such as this crucial. Last year's abseil raised £8,000.
Amongst those who are going to make a difference this year are a group of district nurses from Willesden.
Marisa Bailey, 39, who will be making the descent in her uniform, said: "I am so excited to abseil for St Luke's - we work so closely with palliative patients that this is my own way of giving something back to the amazing work done at St Luke's Hospice."
n If you are brave enough to accept the challenge then please call Jemini on 020 83828018 or email jvshah@stlukes-hospice.org

ACADEMICS are to strike on Friday at the University of Westminster in Harrow - potentially causing the cancellation of media, business and computing classes.
The one day walkout at all four of the institution's sites was called last week by the University and College Union (UCU) after talks over the introduction of a national pay scale framework - which should have been implemented three years ago - broke down.
UCU branch secretary Peter McLoughlin, who will be leading lecturers at the picket line in the Watford Road, Harrow, campus, said: "We think it's going to be an effective strike. We think we're pretty solid.
"In terms of teaching, we're effectively shutting down the university.
"We're not seeking to be disruptive - we have been forced to do this. Members are very cross."
Mr McLoughlin said the university had defied the national agreement from 2006 by
imposing new salary bands and job descriptions, which dumped more work on junior colleagues, and tabled individual contracts that took employees out of collective bargaining.
He said the university had further undermined the agreement by telling staff it would not honour back pay simply because it could not afford to do so, costing some colleagues hundreds of pounds a year.
A successful ballot in favour of industrial action was held by the union in September and while the result should have lapsed some weeks ago, the UCU and the university agreed to extend its expiry date by four weeks to give negotiations another go, but to no avail.
"We're still prepared to negotiate," Mr McLoughlin said. "We have been trying to get a reasonable deal. It's them who walked away."
He said the UCU had the support of students who will miss out on a day of teaching.
The university's Westminster Business School, School of Electronics and Computer Science and School of Media, Arts and Design are all based at its Harrow campus.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Rikki Morgan-Tamosunas said: "Students will be justifiably outraged by the Westminster UCU's decision to strike over a fair and sustainable deal.
"The Westminster Framework Agreement was one of the more generous in the sector.
"On top of that, our new offer included an increase in London Weighting Allowance of almost £1,000 for all academic staff, higher starting and ending points for most pay grades with automatic increments, and a professional development review by line managers.
"Staff will also have a transparent twice-yearly opportunity for grade review.
"The local UCU branch continues to ask for more at a time when the university needs to drive down costs - they are seeking to play fast and loose with jobs and the education of our students."
He said of the 563 UCU members at the university, only 252 voted in the ballot for industrial action and of those, just 134 were in favour of strike action, representing less than 8 per cent of the university's approximately 1,800 academic staff.

CANDLES on a sideboard caused a small house fire in Kenton yesterday afternoon.

However, a fifth of the first floor was damaged by the fire.

BOLLYWOOD heartthrob Vivek Oberoi led a line-up of celebrities at a Kenton fundraiser that generated almost £200,000 to improve the lives of Indian villagers.
He was a headliner at Saturday's Gift Of Hope dinner in support of Food For Life Vrindavan, which helps women and children living in Uttar Pradesh by constructing schools, distribution food and providing health care.

Mr Raghunath added: "It was a fantastic and moving evening, and we were honoured to have somebody like Vivek Oberoi come and support us all the way from India. The money will make a big difference to Vrindavan's destitute children. And thank you to all those involved in making this event a success."
