September 3, 2010: British Superman Fans Break Metropolis, IL World Record

Goodman Masson have broken the Guinness World Record for the largest number of people dressed as Superman, while raising money for Help for Heroes.

Meeting in London at Charterhouse Square, 180 people donned suits and red capes to eclipse the previous record which was set by 122 fans during the 2008 Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL. Once the record was achieved, the group took to 30 designates sites around Central London raising £7,133 which will go towards providing better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women.

Help for Heroes is a British charity launched in September 2007 to help provide better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women. It was co-founded by Bryn Parry, a former member of The Royal Green Jackets and his wife Emma in 2007. The couple were profoundly moved after a visit to Selly Oak hospital where they met injured servicemen and women and decided they needed to do something to help.
