About Andrea Roden

Profile picture

I’m taking part in this event to challenge myself whilst raising money for a great cause.

I believe it’s important in life to challenge ourselves by facing our fears head on (did I mention that I’m really not a fan of heights…). 

I also believe we should make the most of life whilst we are still capable both physically and mentally. We never know what life has waiting around the corner for us. If there is something you have always wanted to try, then do it. Even if the very thought of doing it scares you and makes your knees start to wobble!

Dementia is a terrible disease that steals so much from a person and the family and friends that love them. Dementia Jersey does amazing work to support those affected, and so I want to help raise funds so they can continue their important work.
