# Abseiling 114m from the Arcelor Mittal Orbit for charity

## Abseiling 114m from the Arcelor Mittal Orbit for charity

This weekend I’ll be descending the UK’s largest sculpture along with colleagues from digital agency [Deeson](http://www.deeson.co.uk) in aid of Porchlight, a charity supporting the homeless and vulnerable across Kent and Croydon.  
At Deeson we’ve worked with [Porchlight](http://www.Porchlight.org.uk) for some time on projects and we’re happy to be able to give back to this wonderful charity – although I’m not sure I’ll be so convinced about that as I lower myself into thin air 114m above Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.  
From there on, it’s over the edge and down on an adrenaline-fuelled ride to the ground, taking in the breath-taking views across London including iconic buildings such as The Gherkin, St. Pauls, Canary Wharf and Wembley Stadium, as well as the world-famous sporting venues of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.  
If you’d like to support us in raising funds for Porchlight, you can make a donation [here](http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=DeesonDaredevilsandSteve&isTeam=true).
