Students raise money through trampoline marathon
19/03/2010 Students at a college in Scotland have become the latest to put their trampoline to good use and raise money for charity, the Arbroath Herald reports.
A group of eight young people from Angus College took part in a seven-hour trampoline marathon to raise money for Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
The event was organised as part of the citizenship unit of their health and social care course. Between them the team managed to jump over 15,000 times and raise a total of £780.
Stephanie Caird-Stirling, a lecturer at the college, told the newspaper: "The students have done a great job in organising and taking part in the trampoline-athon. It's been hard work for them but they have raised an amazing amount of money for a great cause, well done."
Last month, three girls from Keighley took part in a trampoline fundraising event to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
The Keighley News reported that Eliza Dewhurst, Katie Womersley and Isobel Town managed to raise a total of £550 through their efforts.
