Torrington window cleaner dons a costume a day for charity

Comments(0)

A WINDOW cleaner has raised thousands of pounds for charity after donning a different suit every day last month for work.

Ian Kevern, from Torrington, created the Suitember challenge to raise money for Edukid and the Barnstaple Chemotherapy Unit appeal.

So far Ian has raised 3,800.

From Spiderman and Scooby Doo to Woody Woodpecker, Ian wore a different fancy dress outfit every day throughout September while on his window cleaning rounds.

Ian said: What a month it turned out to be. Torrington and surrounding community have been amazing, very supportive and encouraging.

I think this was helped by a daily blog on Facebook which kept everyone up to date with what I was wearing and what I got up to.

Every morning around 7am my wife Tanya launched the day to show what I would be dressed up in, she produced a concept photo which took a few hours every night to create.

Ian fulfilled his window cleaning duties despite being stung by a hornet and being taken into hospital.

He said: I think the worse day was when I was Spiderman. I got stung on the head by a massive hornet and had to go to hospital for two hours.
