Two brave staff members from Perth based company Sidey, took part in a charity zip line across the River Tay this month in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Support - Perth & Kinross Appeal.
The appeal has been set up to raise funds for a new palliative care unit, which is set to be built in the grounds of Perth Royal Infirmary.

Julia said: “I must admit I was nervous, getting all the safety gear on, seeing the rescue boat in the water. It doesn’t reassure you! Once we were actually up in the crane, it was more exciting than scary. Stepping off the platform and zipping down was great fun.
“With the money raised going to MacMillan Cancer, it seemed like a great thing to be involved in. Most people I know have been affected in someway by cancer and it seemed like a fun way to raise money for a good cause. The extra benefit being that the unit is being opened in Perth so the money raised is going to the area we live in”.
Donna Macfarlane from Sidey also had personal reasons for taking part in the event: “I did the zip line for my granddad Thomas MacFarlane, who passed away last summer. The standard of care that he received from the MacMillan nurses in Dundee helped us all a great deal during a very difficult time. Julia and I hope to do something a little more daring next year to raise money for another deserving cause and would very much like to make it a companywide event”!
