Bounce For Bradford

Contestants warming up with their spacehoppers at Bounce for Bradford yesterday morning.  The event was organised to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research and to try and set a new world record for the largest number of people on spacehoppers at the same time.  Turnout was a bit on the low side, too low for a record attempt, I think mainly because the weather has been so poor lately, those that did turn out certainly had some fun though!

Jake & Elwood - Otley Stretcher Race

This charity event, held yesterday in the centre of Otley was immense fun for participants and spectators alike.  Teams of stretcher bearers carrying a patient followed a route through the town centre, stopping off at each pub along the way (and there are a lot of pubs in the centre of Otley) to down a quick drink.  It was all good fun and raised money for Cancer Research.  The team in the picture were, I think, the only family to enter the race and were being directed to the next pub by a helpful member of the public.

Bradford To Hamm 2012

The city of Hamm is the destination of these cyclists.  The team will be setting off from Bradford next month on a return trip to the German city to raise money for a local charity which works with young disabled people http:/www.justgiving.com/bradfordsports/raisemoney/.  In the picture are also David Ward, MP for Bradford East, Hilary White from Bradford Disability Sports and Mayor of Bradford Naveeda Ikram.  My thanks to the other photographer present who set up the shot.

Firefighters Charity

These helmets for fire fighters were selling well in the town centre last Saturday. The yellow ones were for junior firemen and the pink ones were for junior firewomen, the proceeds were going to the Firefighters Charity.

Race For Life - Lister Park

I went along to Lister Park this morning to watch the 'Race For Life' event which raises money for cancer research. The picture was taken in the ten minute warm up session before the race. Going through the pictures at home I noticed that mum's race number is 5238 and daughter's number is 5238 and a half.
