delMonte Davis is hoping to avoid strutting his stuff in high heels at the Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust’s Pump It Up fundraiser tonight.Mr Davis, circulation manager for The Royal Gazette, and chairman of the Lady Cubitt Compassionate Association, is pitted against Don Burgess of the Bermuda Sun in a competition to raise the most money for the charity.The winner’s prize will be getting to watch his opponent walk the runway in high heels tonight at Harbour Nights.This is the third year of the Pump It Up fundraiser and Mr Davis’ first time participating. Urging by Senator Joan Dillas-Wright and his own belief in the importance of good healthcare convinced him to support the cause.“A new hospital is helpful for us all,” Mr Davis said. “For me, Pump It Up is a fun and direct way to assist.“It does matter, and I’m shamelessly prepared to ask everyone for their support, however grand or modest.”Mr Davis said he has had one high heels practice session so far, and plans to do some more training ijust in case.“Women in high heels have become a study of mine, and it is a bizarre concept,” he said.“But surely, no one needs to see me in high heels … so please, give as generously as you can!”To pledge money to Mr Davis or one of the other competitors, go to bhct.com, click on Pump It Up with BHCT and then click ‘pledge now’.
