The charity is organising a Bounce for Leeds event which will take place at Roundhay Park on Saturday July 30.

The aim is to get 2,000 people to bounce for one minute on space hoppers.

If they are successful the organisers are hopeful of gaining recognition as a Guinness World Record.

The charity is hoping to raise more than £30,000 from an afternoon of fun and bouncing.

Money raised will go towards cancer research, treatment and diagnosis projects throughout the Yorkshire region. Yorkshire Cancer Research is the country’s largest regional medical research charity. PICTURE: JAMES HARDISTY
