A TEAM of local businessmen is preparing to set a new world record when they spend the Bank Holiday weekend bouncing on their Space Hoppers.
The men, led by Ipswich-based John Levis will be travelling to Brighton on Monday for the Bounce Your Balls fundraiser to increase awareness of testicular cancer.
The aim is to set a new world record for the most people bouncing on Space Hoppers and raise £20,000 for the Orchid Cancer Appeal for male cancers.
Mr Levis, managing director of software company Aevista, said: “Getting a few businessmen to bounce on Space Hoppers may seem like an odd thing to do but it's a great way to raise awareness of testicular cancer and encourage men to bounce their balls for medical reasons on a regular basis.
“We're looking forward to it and the aim is to raise as much money as possible. After the event in Brighton we're hoping to hold a similar fundraiser in Ipswich in September.
“We want to see hundreds of people bouncing through the town and hopefully lots of local businesses will also do their bit.”
Anyone who wants to sponsor Mr Levin or who would like to help with the Ipswich event should email bounce@aevista.co.uk or telephone 07775 626439.
