A GRASSINGTON woman is determined to put her fear of heights behind her to take to the skies in a glider to raise funds for a charity close to her heart.
Elizabeth Spencer, who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in August, 2021, will be taking flight in a glider, from Sutton Bank, weather permitting, on Monday (September 2).
She has set herself a target of £4,500 for Neuroendocrine Cancer UK, and has already raised more than £3.140.
Elizabeth, who has an injection once a month to keep her cancer stable, said: "I'm getting really nervous now but am so overwhelmed by the continued kindness and support that everyone has given to my glider flight fundraiser for Neuroendocrine Cancer UK.
"The charity relies on the generosity and kindness from people to continue supporting the Neuroendocrine Cancer community and to help them get one step closer to reaching their vision of a world in which people know how to recognise, diagnose, treat, care for, and ultimately, cure patients with Neuroendocrine Cancer."
