The theme for this year’s event was ‘Be a Hero’ with schoolchildren across the Island dressing up as their idols.
And one of the Island’s politicians even got in on the fun, as St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft dressed up in a colourful suit and blonde wig. The Constable collected money in King Street alongside shop owners, members of Jersey Rugby Club and town centre manager Daphne East.
Staff at Ports of Jersey took turns to row or cycle over a 12-hour period, with £1 being donated for every mile covered. Air traffic controllers, engineers and even the chief executive, Doug Bannister, took part in the challenge, which was held in the departures lounge at the Airport.
As well as the fundraising activities at the Airport, Ports of Jersey staff based at the Harbour raised money by holding a giant cake sale.
And Fort Regent hosted the south-west regional party, some of which was shown during the annual telethon on the BBC.
