Meet Sarah Lee, the Face of Courage!

On Nov 24, she will take up a huge challenge - to abseil from 1000ft at the iconic One Island East.

HK Vertical 1000 is not just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step out of their comfort zone, but also the chance to fundraise for a local charity - Outward Bound Hong Kong and its work to #FutureProofYOUth.

Listen to her story:

After I retired from competitive cycling, I took on different challenges. Participating in the Vertical 1000 is not only a challenge, but it also symbolizes the process of slowly going down from the top after I retired.

Young people sometimes go for their dreams and are unprepared for them, whereas older people may not want to take a step back. With the Vertical 1000, I want to encourage people to be courageous, whether moving up or down and to create a more exciting life in a new field.
