A 51-year-old man from Ohio has broken the world record for "most hugs" in a 24 hour period on the Las Vegas Strip. The Valentine's Day event involved Jeff Ondash, dressed as his alter ego "Teddy McHuggin," standing outside the Paris Hotel-Casino handing out free hugs to 7,777 people over the course of a busy Vegas Saturday night. He said he wants to be the world hugging champion to raise money for the American Heart Association during American Heart month.Ondash had this to say:
"When you hug somebody, they all walk away from each other smiling... They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away; a hug a day — it's just fun."
