  What cool things have your parents done?
Updated 09 April 2003, 10.46

Rocking dad Eric Clapton has helped his daughter's school by playing a gig there to raise money for computers and equipment.

We reckon that's pretty cool! But have YOUR parents ever done anything that you're proud of?

Maybe your dad rescued a dog from certain doom, or you step-mum stopped an out of control train.
