Dorset Plane Pull helps children's hospice
Pauline Freemont, business manager, in Dorset gathered 20 Dignity colleagues, relatives and friends to attempt to pull an aeroplane over 50 metres in the shortest possible time to raise money for Julia's House, a local children's hospice.
The volunteers pulled a Boeing 737, weighing 35,000kg, the 50 metre distance in just 39 seconds.
Pauline said: "We have raised just over £600 which we feel enormously proud to have achieved for such a great cause."
