Crewe business employees complete 'adrenalin rush' skydive to support charity
Employees from a Crewe business took to the skies in an "adrenalin rush" charity challenge, helping to raise funds for St Luke's Hospice.
On Friday 4 August, Daredevil duo, Bobbi Harris and Joe Harding from Cymphony, Haslington, faced their fears to take part in a skydive.
The pair raised a total of £1,165 for St Luke's Hospice, jumping out of a plane once the skies had cleared and the weather settled.
Joe, who is the business development manager based in Crewe, overcame his fear of heights to fly to 10,000 ft.
He told Nub News: "It is amazing to have achieved a dream of mine while raising lots of money for such a great cause.
"It has always been on my bucket list to do a skydive, and I now want to repeat the same adrenalin rush again and again.
"The dive itself was an incredible experience, there's no other feeling like it.
"I am already looking forward to raising even more money for St Luke's Hospice."
The skydive is the latest fundraiser by Cymphony as part of its continued support for the charity.
Since 1998, St Luke's Hospice has been providing palliative care to the people of Cheshire who need it, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS.
Fellow fundraiser skydiver, Cymphony's transformation co‑ordinator, Bobbi, said: "I have always wanted to do a skydive, and I'm so proud for having done it.
"It was without doubt the most thrilling and satisfying experience I have ever had, and it pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone in a way nothing else can.
"St Luke's Hospice is a fantastic charity and everyone who donated has been so generous, so a huge thank you.
"I highly recommend anyone to take part in a skydive if they get the opportunity."
St Luke's Hospice supports over 1,000 local people with a huge range of assistance, from end-of-life care on our ward to supporting carers.
It also helps children cope with grief and helps patients return to work after an illness.
Managing director of Cymphony, Tim Morris, added: "Congratulations to Bobbi and Joe for their amazing achievement.
"Cymphony is so proud of its partnership with St Luke's Hospice and delighted that we are continuing to help raise money for this incredible charity.
"The whole company, coupled with families, friends and the local community, is behind this great cause, and together we are spreading the good word about the hospice."
