High anxiety at Finnieston but Bill is all heart
November 10, 2009 by localnews
Pensioner Bill Rossine doesn’t seem to do relaxing, even at the age of 85. Instead, Bill, from Ruchill, likes challenges and, invariably, when the mood takes him, he is either running or hanging off some tall building as part of a charity stunt.
Bill’s most recent adventure involved abseiling down the Finnieston Crane to raise funds for Sense Scotland, who offer care and support for deafblind and disabled.
Serial fundraiser Bill, who is a friend to many organisations and charities and made £250 after bouncing 200 feet down the crane, said: ‘This is my second abseil. However, this time, there was no wall to walk down, so once you went over the side that was you freefalling.
‘The team working with us were absolutely first class and gave us little tips and reassurance all the way down.’
