Before taking on the challenge Helen said: “I’ve walked a high wire to raise money but I’ve never done a challenge at this height or this speed before. I’m nervous and excited and I just hope it inspires people in Lincolnshire to get sponsored to do something challenging this Red Nose Day.
"It’s really important that we all rally together. I've seen first-hand how Comic Relief makes a big difference and changes people’s lives for the better, both here in the UK and in Africa.”
Helen has kayaked down the Amazon, walked a high wire above Battersea Power Station and trekked the South Pole.
This was the third of Helen’s Magnificent 7 challenges for Red Nose Day 2013. She’s already tried to kick a conversion in front of 82,000 rugby fans at Twickenham and performed in two musicals in London’s West End in an evening.
You can watch Helen’s Magnificent 7 every Thursday for the next five weeks on Blue Peter, Thursdays at 5.45pm on CBBC. For more information and ideas about your own challenges, visit www.rednoseday.com/challenge
The money raised for Red Nose Day is spent by Comic Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives across Africa and here in the UK.
