A video starring De Montfort University's vice chancellor singing "I need a Hero", which raised more than £3,500 for LOROS and PROSTaid, has gone
live.
The comedy video was shot on November 7, at the university and in Castle Gardens with the help of volunteers including Leicestershire Police, Leicester
Tigers, Leicestershire County Cricket Club, Leicester City's Alan Birchenall, Leicester Comedy Festival, a three-year-old Superman, a knight on a trusty
steed, as well as staff and students.
Professor Shellard said: "It is a brilliant tribute to the DMU community, who gave up their time to work together and raise money for LOROS and
PROSTaid, while having a lot of fun in the process. We now want the video to go global and show the rest of the world how creative DMU can be when it
comes to helping the community.At the same time it will encourage more and more people to give to two charities which so many people at DMU hold close
to their hearts."
The film was organised by the vice-chancellor when he was asked to take part in the Executive Quest Challenge to raise money for the two charities.
The challenge requires Leicestershire chief executives to do something extraordinary that pushes them out of their comfort zones.
