DAREDEVIL pub staff and their customers took a 200ft leap of faith to help a severely disabled boy.
A bungee platform was set up high above the car park of the Durham Ox, in Northallerton, to raise funds for the Joshua Peacock Charitable Trust.
The seven-year-old is severely disabled, and all his needs have to be met by his family, including feeding, changing, dressing and moving around.
His mother, Vikki Cook, said they planned to convert their garage into a purpose-built room for the youngster, which would enable them to get help in at night and to get special equipment including hoists and a wet room.
A crowd of family, friends and passing shoppers cheered on the 18 bungee jumpers who took part - most of whom had never jumped before.
