LANGHORNE, Pa. (WPVI) -- Two members of the Action News sports team competed on opposite sides today for a good cause.

Ducis Rodgers and Jamie Apody participated in the "Charity Anchor Challenge" to help celebrate the 35th birthday of Sesame Place in Langhorne.

They went head-to-head in a series of events, including icing a cake, racing through a birthday-themed obstacle course and wrapping a big bird.

Ducis had a little fun with that and actually wrapped up Jamie too!

Next, they had to run to the cargo nets and climb through before finally getting to the finish line.

In the end, Ducis and Jamie say it was a tie.

But they both won when Sesame Place cut a check to the charities of their choices.

Alex's Lemonade Stand will get $1,000 and $1,500 will go to Cradles for Crayons.

Jamie also had the support of her number one fan, with son Chase there to help taste the cake.
