Leighton resident Laurence Parker celebrated his 47th birthday by challenging himself and raising £100 to help buy a much-needed new kit for Leighton Town Youth Reds under 12s.
The abseil took place at the Northampton Lift Tower which is 127m (418ft ) tall and is the highest permanent abseil in the world.
Laurence, of Riverside, is the manager and an FA level two qualified coach of the team.
The under 12s are currently looking for some new players to strengthen the team. If you would like a trial contact Laurence on 07432 727822. The team are also looking for a local company to sponsor them.
