This a 24.5 mile (so pretty much the length of a marathon) hike over the three Yorkshire peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, which is over 1600 metres of ascent

raise money for this fabulous cause.
The Give A Duck Foundation is a children’s cancer charity, supporting local children who have been diagnosed with cancer throughout the UK.
Chemo Duck is fitted with medical lines and ports to mirror those of the child. Play Leaders, through play therapy use Chemo Duck to prepare children for their treatment, be it an appointment with their Consultant, administering chemotherapy or taking blood samples.
Children feel they can take back some control at a time when they have very little, for example by suggesting that nurses clean the Duck’s Hickman Line or Portacath before their own. Things are less scary if Chemo Duck experiences the treatment the children will go through and provides a relaxed way to have discussions about what will happen to them in hospital.
Give A Duck work with the majority of the specialist childhood cancer centres in the UK and in partnership with some local children’s charities who distribute the ducks on their behalf. By working with health care professionals about the many uses and roles Chemo Duck can play during treatment, they know they can help make things a little easier at a really difficult time.
£25 donation = 1 Chemo Duck for a child with cancer!
All donations are hugely appreciated - no matter how much.
Our families, clients and contacts are all welcome to participate or just join us on the day.
