On 24th August Rentokils very own Chris Pickles, will be jumping off the 'Goldeneye Dam' in Switzerland, which is 220m high (the highest dam in Europe).  He’s going to take on this challenge with Neil Bailey.

All  6ft 6 of Mr Pickles (who doesn’t even like being that tall and subsequently suffers from vertigo on a daily basis!) will be tied to a bungee rope by the ankles and thrown 220 metres off the edge - what’s not to like….He says the only consolation is that it’s for a good cause & Neil’s going first!

Why are they doing this I hear you ask - to raise a big stack of cash for Malaria No More!

Here are the vital statistics:

• every year, malaria causes 214 million illnesses and is responsible for 438,000 deaths - that’s like the population of Edinburgh being wiped out every year

• in 2015 over 300,000 African children died from malaria before reaching their 5th birthday

• it costs just £1 for lifesaving treatment for a child and £5 to protect two people with a mosquito net

Malaria No More are seeking to end the plight of Malaria within a generation and you can help Chris to end this entirely preventable disease by donating anything you can.
