About
As the leader of a young company, the concept of building strength, maturity and value through self-challenge is one with which I strongly identify. The Descent of the shard captures this concept brilliantly, reflecting the unique mission of the Outward Bound Trust. I take great pleasure in harnessing the resources of my organization and its partners in support of this challenge, and hope you will join them in that support.
*In the event the descent does not take place, it will be postponed to an alternative date or sponsorship will be refunded.
Event details
The Descent of Shard - by invitation only
Soaring to 310m above the ground, The Shard is the tallest building in Western Europe, justly celebrated for its elegant architecture and elevation that delivers the most commanding views of London.
Before this extraordinary building opens to the public in early 2013, a small group of people are being given the unique opportunity to abseil from the pinnacle of The Shard in aid of charity. They will be trained by The Outward Bound Trust, supported by the Royal Marines, and guaranteed an exhilarating and utterly memorable experience.
Together, this small group of people will raise a landmark sum for two charities dedicated to helping those facing personal and physical challenges: The Outward Bound Trust and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
