Spring in their step helps raise money for cancer


Rose Gedney, head of geography at Royal Russell School in Croydon, bounced the day and night away last Friday to raise almost £5,000 for Cancer Research.

In the past she has a sky dived and competed against British tennis ace Tim Henman to raise money for charity. For 24 hours last week she and her pupils bounced continuously on a trampoline.

Ms Gedney, who lost her father, her tennis partner and a close friend and colleague to cancer last year, said: "I have been training hard to see if I can master bouncing from the trampoline on to the headmaster's lap!"
