Record RSS sponsors 160ft bungee jump

Outdoor play equipment specialist, Record RSS is sponsoring its loyal customer Wayne Raistrick of Persimmon Homes West Yorkshire, in his charity bungee jump off the Middlesbrough Transporter bridge. The 160ft jump which will take place on the 25th March 2007 is in aid of Bradford neo-natal unit.

Wayne will be taking the plunge from The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge which has been a symbol of the area since it was opened in 1911. There are only two other Transporter Bridges still in existence in Britain.  The bridge comprises two almost independent structures joined above the centre of the River Tees. The suspended moving platform travels 86.8 metres across the river and takes around two and a half minutes to complete its journey.

Record RSS who specialise in the design and manufacture of outdoor play equipment are just one of the regional companies sponsoring the bungee jump. The sponsorship money will be donated to the special baby care unit where Wayne’s son Bradley was born by emergency section weighing only 2lb 15oz and stayed in the unit for 11 weeks. The special care baby unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary neo-natural unit is part of the Bradford Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Graham Pell, Area Manager for Record RSS gives his support:

 “Our company revolves around children, so this cause is close to our hearts. Wayne is very brave and I wish him and the baby unit all the best.”

Wayne hopes to raise around £2000 through the jump.
“For any parent who has had a baby born prematurely will know how traumatic and distressing a time like this can be. However with the help, support and care of the dedicated staff at Bradford neonatal unit Bradley was soon on the road to recovery. I wish to raise as much money as possible to help the unit as I am eternally grateful to them and hope it will help babies like Bradley in the future.”
