Here's your chance to push the button and demolish a 375ft chimney with an explosive competition.

One lucky person will bring down the tower at Halling's Cemex cement works in aid of The Friends of the Wisdom Hospice.

The winner of a text draw being run by the Medway Messenger will get to trigger the explosives that will send the landmark crashing to the ground and change the skyline forever.

The chimney will be turned to dust at the event - dubbed the BlowDown - next month as part of wider demolition works at the site.

The Friends of the Wisdom Hospice - the Medway Messenger's charity of the year - makes an annual grant of £578,000 to the hospice, in High Bank, Rochester.

To be in with a chance of being the person who demolishes the chimney, all you have to do is send a text.

Simply text the word CHIMNEY, then leave a space followed by your name and postcode to 87474. The closing date is Monday, September 13.

All messages cost £1, plus your standard network charge, with 58p going direct to The Friends of the Wisdom Hospice.
