Educ8 Skydive 10-05-2010
The Sky´s the Limit for Educ8´s Campaign to Care
Here at Educ8 we take our hats off to our 4 very brave colleagues who took the 13,000 foot leap of their lives in aid of our 2 amazing charities- Velindre Cancer Centre and the Down’s Syndrome Association.
The tandem skydiving event was held on Saturday 24th April in Swansea and the Educ8 employees (Grant Santos, Matthew Tucker, Carley Pritchard and Keri Dexter) plunged out of an airplane to raise an impressive £2,500 for the worthy causes. Most of the Educ8 staff were more at ease showing their support whilst keep their feet firmly on the ground but these 4 demonstrated outstanding bravery and tenacity to take their support for the charities to a whole new level.
Well done guys!
The team also organised an Easter bonnet parade, car boot sale and raffle to contribute to the fundraising pot and they are already thinking about what to do next- there have even been rumours of participating in the Three Peaks Challenge so watch this space!
