Go quackers For Cancerbackup!

Great British Duck Race 2008


Great British Duck Race logo

On the 31st August this year a quarter of a million ducks will be released in the river Thames to take part in the Great British Duck Race 2008. Last year the Guinness World Record for the 'World's Biggest Charity Duck Race’, was smashed by this fantastic event which also raised thousands of pounds for various charities.

Once again, the Duck Race takes place in Hampton Court and is a fantastic day out for family and friends to enjoy the weather and cheer on their ducks!

Cancerbackup has merged with Macmillan Cancer Support so visit the Macmillan website to find out more about how to take part in this exciting event.

Not only will you be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes but you’ll also be supporting our work helping people affected by cancer.
