Rapidata donates to Marie Curie Cancer Care

As part of the Bacs Big Break campaign 2012, Rapidata was very happy as a Bacs bureau to support and make a donation to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Rapidata has made a donation of £1,158.05 to Marie Curie Cancer Care which provides end of life care to terminally ill patients in their own homes, or in one of their nine hospices.

‘Rapidata has always been very active in supporting charities and when we were approached by Bacs to be a part of the Big Break campaign we were delighted and more than happy to help.’

Scott Gray, Managing Director

Skydiving for Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust

On Sunday, the 26th of June, Daragh and I threw ourselves out of an aeroplane strapped only to a skydiving instructor to raise money for Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust. It was an awe inspiring experience. If not eye watering! After a short, but thorough training session at Headcorn Airfield, we adjourned to our picnic table to wait for the weather to clear. After an hour of pacing, the sun came out and the first skydivers took off! Daragh and I were one of the last groups to go and lucky for us we went with a group of very experienced skydivers. Their calm confidence definitely helped to soothe my nerves!

Rapidata team help marshal the St Catherine’s Midnight Walk

On Saturday night Emma and Louise from Rapidata’s Data Admin Team forwent sleep and headed over to Horsham, West Sussex to marshal the St Catherine’s Hospice Midnight walk. 1000+ women of all ages walked a half marathon through the night around Horsham to raise money for this wonderful cause. Emma & Louise were 2 of 100 marshals on the night making sure all walkers were safe, having fun and most importantly walking in the right direction!

All the marshals just before our briefing (Emma and Louise are kneeling at the front in the middle)

‘The atmosphere on the night/morning was fantastic, the event was really well organised and everyone was really excited to be there, it was lovely to be a part of it. Even the very last walkers to finish at 5.20am after walking all night were still smiling.” Emma comments
