Percy Hedley Foundation

Local Heroes needed!

September and October, 2008

Could you be a Percy Hedley Hero?

Are you looking for something to do that is totally exhilarating, totally different, totally unforgettable, and totally bananas?

Well, here's you chance!

We can get a limited number of places for thrill seekers to zip 1,000ft across the River Tees at 30 miles per hour on a wire on 27th or 28th September or 3rd or 4th October.

The Transporter Bridge, spanning the River Tees at Middlesbrough

A zip wire is a steel wire strung tightly between 2 points, one considerably higher than the other. Participants are kitted out with 2 harnesses and a special trolley. After a climb to the higher end of the wire, they are clipped on and gravity does the rest.

This event is managed by experts from The UK Bungee Club.

Places cost £47 and we would like entrants to try and raise at least £100 for Percy Hedley Foundation.

If you want to know more or know anyone who might be up to the challenge, please contact Sheila Coltman on 0191 2665491 ext. 272.
