Greenlight's finest jump for charity
Search engine marketing consultancy Greenlight, has announced the safe landing of two of its employees following a courageous charity skydive to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
The dive, which took place on Thursday 19 July, has already raised a significant sum of money for the charity and donations continue to pour in Greenlight's skydivers, Sam Angeli (Graphic Designer) and Sandra Frisch (PPC Analyst) dived from a staggering 13,000 ft
It was the pair's very first skydive which meant that they were required to complete an intensive training session and then dive on the same day.
Sam Angeli said of his experience: "The feeling is indescribable; all my emotions surfaced at the same time - I was petrified.
"The ten second freefall felt like ten days - it was simply THE biggest adrenalin rush I've ever experienced.
"I'm so happy to have raised money for a charity that's close to my heart and in such a thrilling way".
The dive, which was independently funded by Greenlight, will be followed by a post-jump fundraiser on Thursday 26 July, at 26 West Smithfield.
Supporters will be able to come along and watch video clips of the dive, have a few drinks with the Greenlight team and make donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Sandra Frisch commented: "I had an amazing dive; it was such a huge rush.
"The agency has been so supportive of our efforts and we've already had lots of donations from businesses and individuals, so we hope Thursday's fundraiser will bring in even more donations".
Warren Cowan, CEO of Greenlight, added: "We're all very proud of Sam and Sandra - I can't say I'd have done it myself...never been one for heights, but Greenlight is proud to support the cause and we hope this will be one of many fundraising events that the agency is able to support".
