Transcendit took part in a sponsored zip line over the River Tyne on Sunday 16th October, to raise money for Fighting All Cancers Together (FACT).

Taking the leap of faith was Alan Common, Nick Elliott, Dave Park and Dave Scott from our Support Team, with Christophe Duhaut and Anthony Karapetrides representing our Development Team.

FACT Provides help, support and social opportunities for anyone affected by cancer.  "I think we all know somebody who has been diagnosed with it." says Dave Scott.  "It's life changing for the person suffering, their family and friends.  FACT really makes a difference in our community."

Over the course of last year, Transcendit raised over £2,000 for FACT.  "We ran the 22 miles between our offices in Meadowfield (Durham) and Team Valley in a relay." says Dave.  "It was a great experience for us as a business.  We're so excited to support them again this year."

According to the Zipslides UK Website, "The zip slide starts from the Newcastle side 30m above the river and travels diagonally across the River Tyne for 230m, before finishing at HMS Calliope on the Gateshead side."

Dave Park had some reservations about the zip line, "I think it'll be rewarding, and it's a great charity to do it for." he says.  "I am nervous about it though, I'm scared of heights!  I'm Glad that we'll all be there doing it together, I don't think I could do it without the rest of the team there!"

Anthony was looking forward to it, "I wouldn't say I was an adrenaline junkie, but when things like these arise I don't say no.  If I can try something new, and raise money for a worthwhile cause, why not?"

If you'd like to support Transcendit, please consider making a donation.

Many thanks,
