'Eighties-themed bungee jump event in Peterborough to raise funds for hospitals' charity
Daring thrill-seekers are being invited to sign up for a 1980s-themed bungee jump in aid of North West Anglia Hospitals’ Charity.
Mullets and leg warmers are optional for the Peterborough City Hospital's Big Boogie Bungee in June - described as an “80s disco-themed funky challenge”.
It is being organised by the hospitals' charity, which raises funds to enhance patient, staff and visitor experience in Peterborough, Huntingdon and Stamford.
Those with a head for heights can sign up for the 165ft bungee jump taking place over the weekend of June 27-28, as part of the Community Festival hosted by the City of Peterborough Sports Club in Bretton Gate (next to the Peterborough City Hospital campus).
“The Big Boogie Bungee follows on from the very successful hospital building abseil we staged a couple of years ago,” explains Philip Fearn – North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Hospitals' Charity Project Manager.
“We've already had some amazing support from our staff, and we are extending the invitation to member s of the public - but hurry, as places are limited.
“The money raised will help us continue enhancing our hospitals - improving patient experience and supporting the wellbeing of our fabulous colleagues.”
The event is being sponsored by Progress Health and participants (aged 18+) are asked to raise a minimum of £165.
There will be prizes for the best disco‑themed outfit, the highest fundraiser, and the most outrageous dance moves in the Disco Warm‑Up Zone.
