INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Some IU students decided to jump out of a plane this weekend with a teddy bear, all so they can give kids at Riley Hospital for Children "the bravest bear in the world."

Skydive Indianapolis took the students from the Indiana University Dance Marathon up 13,000 feet. They then made the 120 mile-per-hour freefall with the teddy bears.

This is the fourth year they've made the jump for the kids at Riley.
