Heart Stopper Challenge

29 May 2009

They asked for ice...

Bishop Victoria and Andrew Rodford (diocesan office), along with Dean Peter Beck, Rev Craig Dixon, Nick Bridgman, Andrew Grenon and Chris Burn (Cathedral Choir) raised $2000 by enduring five numbing minutes in a tub of icy water. Fortunately, there was a hot spa pool on site to aid recovery. The team was also revived by a recently arrived ‘Official Teddy Bear’ - Harper. The money raised goes to help Heart Children NZ. In New Zealand one in every 100 children are born with heart disease – around 600 a year.
