Community leaders abseiled down Building No.8 at the Canberra Hospital on Friday to raise funds for Can Give Day, including inspirational New Zealand cricket legend Chris Cairns, who suffered a heart attack and spinal stroke last year that left him paralysed and who is now battling bowel cancer.
Mr Cairns, 52, who otherwise is confined to a wheelchair, wore a robotic exoskeleton to help him walk up the final steps to the rooftop and then launch himself over the edge of the distinctive 18-metre-high building on Hospital Road.
