It inspired us to take a look and some of the other wonderful fundraising projects we have seen in the past.
So whether you did a virtual row from Hartlepool to Blackpool at High Tunstall, had a tea party at the Maritime Experience or got covered in paste for charity, we have it all!
These fundraising cyclists set off from English Martyrs School and Sixth Form College for this charity event in 2009 but who can tell us more? Photo: TC
This St Mary's Church fundraiser looked like a great time and Doris O'Dell, Margaret Lamb, Peggy Mordaunt and Jenny Stevenson were certainly enjoying it in 2009. Who can tell us more? Photo: TC
