A pair of teddy bears are flying around the world to raise money for charity.
The Aviation Challenge Ireland is sending two teddies - Captain Paddy and Lucky - around the world to raise money for LauraLynn Hospice and Dogs Trust Ireland. Organiser Jason Phelan said that the idea for twist on this fundraiser came from an ex-colleague of his.
He recalled: "Capt Paddy was donated to me by a work colleague who served with the Irish Air Corps, and Capt Paddy has sat on my desk at work for about five years. I decided that it should be two bears travelling, and Lucky was an aviation bear that I found, and along with Capt Paddy they formed a travelling duo."
