Why am I doing this - as well as the obvious adventure aspect to this, as I have grown older I seem to have developed an irrational disliking to heights. The more I think about this the more I realise how much I will be shitting myself on the day. For everyone watching me on the day this will no doubt be hilariously funny. For me ... this is going to be a real challenge!

Every year Ricoh UK supports Children in Need and this year is no exception. In addition to our usual support through providing the largest call centre to collect donations on the night, a selection of my colleagues have been challenged to raise as much money as they can. They decided upon abseiling down our central London office, Broadgate Tower, which at 165m high is the 5th tallest building in London. A group of 20 people will all be jumping off the top of our office on 11th September and hopefully raising collectively as much money as we can.

Please donate what you can afford knowing that you will be contributing to me having to do something I can going to hate on the day! :-)
