June 09 Teddies raise over £4000
Hundreds of teddy bears took a leap of faith when they made a sponsored parachute jump from Rayleigh’s tallest building.
Youngsters took their various cuddly toys, wearing professionally-made parachutes, to the top of the 70ft tower. More than 1,000 visitors, and passing motorists, watched as 324 cuddly parachutists made their descent.
At the bottom, ‘paratedics’ were ready to catch the toys as they landed around the tower. There was even a first aid tent where they were bandaged up if they had been damaged during their airborne journey.
The Rector Rev Mike Lodge, said: “It was absolutely fantastic, a wonderful family day with a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.
“It brought a bit of a standstill to the town, as people driving by slowed down to watch.
“It was great to see all the children walking up the High Street with their bears.”
Mike said “We are very grateful to everyone who came along and contributed,”
