Congratulations to Team Echo, Marissa Carruthers on completing this year’s Bupa Great Women’s Run and raising £1,000 for the cause. The six-mile course included some of Sunderland’s best-loved landmarks including a 300metre stretch along Roker beach and a run out to sea and back along Roker Pier. There was a huge turn out, with thousands of spectators cheering Marissa on.

Zipslide Over the River Tyne in Aid of the Anthony Nolan Trust

Dpivision.com Ltd would like to offer their congratulation on a brave member of our staff for taking on a breath taking challenge in aid of charity.

From hundreds of feet in the air Catherine stepped of the Tyne Bridge and took flight across the River Tyne. Reaching great speeds she zipped her way down the wire traveling hundreds of feet in a matter of seconds to the landing platform.

Catherine commented, “I have always wanted to do something like this, and the fact that I was able to raise a fantastic £250 for such an important cause made it quite emotional. It was such an amazing experience, now I’m planning on doing something even more daring next time round, to raise more money for charity. I will keep you all posted!”
