Rapide’s Marketing and Communications Executive, Stacey Roberts, has raised an outstanding £900 in sponsorship for the Multiple Sclerosis Society by participating in a 10,000ft tandem skydive.

Stacey managed to find a break in the clouds to jump before the rain fell on Saturday 18th August 2007 at Hinton Airfield in Brackley, Northamptonshire.

Stacey loved the skydive,

"The whole thing was an amazing experience. Skydiving is exhilarating and something I've always wanted to do. I'd do it all over again if i could!

“It’s great knowing that while I was having fun falling through the clouds, people with MS and their families were benefiting from all the money raised."

This charity event follows on from Rapide’s previous fundraising efforts for Red Nose Day in April 2007 and Oxfam in December 2006. In the last 12 months, Rapide have raised around £1600 for charities throughout the UK.
