If the idea of running is too strenuous we have a race where you dont even have to leave the computer!

Each duck costs £2.00 and this money supports The Downs Syndrome Association, Wateraid and The NSPCC.
Additional donations can be made at the time of registration to The Maria Watt Birmingham Foundation for Childhood & Teenage Leukaemia who support Teenage Cancer Trust in the development of specialist Teenage Cancer Units and Research into the causes of Leukaemia in Children and Teenagers.

Unfortunately for Jessica, treatment is not available in the UK.
