A 34-hour abseiling marathon in aid of Id-Dar tal-Providenza kicked off yesterday at 9am and ends at 7pm today. The marathon is organised by the Mosta Scout Group in collaboration with the Mosta council and Radio RTK. Participants are requested to donate €12 during the day and €6 at night. They also have the opportunity to ride a 100m zip line across the beautiful Mosta valley. Archbisop Emeritus Paul Cremona blessed the participants at the beginning of the marathon.
