Some people might like to spend their Saturday mornings relaxing in the garden, visiting the supermarket or simply lounging in bed catching up on some of that lost sleep after a long week.
Not the case, however, for Kim Montague and Kris Slaven of the Corporate Sales team who, along with former Hammers player Keith Robson endured a zip slide across the pitch at the Boleyn Ground.
The cable ran for more than 500ft from the north-west corner of the ground to the south-east side and hung a daunting 100ft above the hallowed turf. Riders would be able to speed along the line at speeds of up to 30mph.
Hammers fans that had the pleasure of watching Keith Robson play at the Boleyn Ground in his three-year tenure between 1974 and 1977 would be more familiar with him flying down the flanks of the pitch rather than above it. Dressed in a tracksuit on this occasion rather than a claret and blue shirt, he was ready for the test.
"It was quite daunting getting strapped up but it was good fun," Keith said. "The only worrying part was stepping over the ledge and you feel that there's nothing beneath you."
Not one to shirk a challenge, he is always ready to give something new a try, having experienced some of the world's most exciting rides at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. "I'm not so much of a thrill-seeker," he admits. "I just end up volunteering for these things!"
It was all in the name of charity. Bedwell Ward of Southend Hospital will benefit from Kim's huge fundraising effort, while all proceeds from Kris's zip slide will go to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research.
Having lost her mother to bowel cancer earlier this year, Kim's cause is very close to her heart. "They looked after my mum until the day she sadly passed away from bowel cancer and the nurses and staff are like angels."
This was not the first time however that Kim has jumped from the top of the Boleyn Ground, having taken part in an abseil for the Bobby Moore Fund from the roof of the Bobby Moore Stand last year.
"I was a bit nervous even though I had done the abseil last year. I totally enjoyed it though and would do it again."
Kris, who went down having seen Keith and colleague Kim slide across the pitch, had any nerves eased by Robson's constant joking around. "Robbo was cracking jokes all the way up there!" he said of the 1976 European Cup Winners' Cup finalist.
There were eleven other charities involved including Great Ormond Street Hospital, Macmillan Cancer Support and the Sick Children Trust, with more than 200 people taking part over the two days to raise money for the good causes.
