A hugging fanatic has broken a world hugging record by squeezing 7,777 cuddles into 24 hours, to raise funds for heart research.
Jeff Ondash, 51, who calls himself 'Teddy McHuggin' worked the Las Vegas Strip outside the Paris Hotel-Casino for an entire day, sporting a red Nascar-style suit and a wrestling championship style-belt, getting cozy with passers by.
He shared the love at a rate of 324 hugs an hour - about 5 and a half per minute, beating the previous record holder, Dublin's Siobhan O'Connor, by a full two hugs per minute.
McHuggin aims to raise money for the American Heart Association during February, its Heart month, a cause close to him as both his father and brother have died of heart-related problems.
