A Kiwi daredevil tonight begins his world record attempt for the most bungy jumps in 24 hours, leaping off the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Mike Heard's official Guinness World Record attempt - which is raising money for the Mental Health Foundation - follows two world records for bungy jumping which he previously set from the same AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand site on the bridge. The jump site will operate its usual business hours and jump times during the day. Jumpers will be able to join Heard for a tandem bungy or a Guinness experience with money going towards the fundraising total. People can support the fundraising project by visiting mentalhealth.org.nz/bungy or texting BUNGY to 2446 to make an automatic $3 donation.
