Conor Kelly acquired a brain injury as the result of an unprovoked assault when he was just 21, turning his life upside down in a matter of minutes. Having worked incredibly hard through his rehabilitation journey, Conor decided to give back by taking part in ‘Abseil for Brain Injury’.

Participants will experience a breath-taking view of Dublin, from Howth to Killiney, as they descend the tower with expert guides ensuring safety at every step. It’s an exciting challenge that will stay with you forever, and especially rewarding is knowing that each step is helping to provide support, rehabilitation, and a path forward for those living with the impacts of brain injury.

A cause that matters: We are a national charity that support people and families affected by brain injury, helping them to rebuild their lives through specialised services and tailored rehabilitation programmes. Fundraisers like Abseil For Brain Injury enable us to provide more support and services to brain injury survivors living in Ireland. Your support can change someone’s life!

Our Interim Director of Fundraising, Marissa Tuccelli, explains the importance of supporting fundraisers like this and the incredible impact it can have:

A view from the top: The Smithfield Generator Tower, built in 1895 as a chimney for the Jameson Distillery, is one of Dublin’s tallest and most iconic landmarks. From its Chimney Viewing Tower, you’ll have an incredible 360-degree view of the city, including a panoramic view of Dublin’s skyline and the surrounding countryside.

Join the challenge and make a difference: Abseiling for brain injury is not just about the adrenaline rush; it’s about standing up for those who need your help. Are you brave enough to take the leap?
