Little ones in Surrey encouraged waddle in a 'Penguin Parade' for Marie Curie
Little ones in Surrey are being encouraged to waddle for a good cause.
It is part of a Marie Curie fundraiser to support families affected by terminal illness.
The newly launched Penguin Parade will see young children go for a waddle of any distance at their nursery or primary school to raise money and light up the festive season for local families.
The fundraiser is fronted by Penelope the Penguin, who will make an appearance in plush toy form at nurseries and schools taking part.
Luisa Stevens, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser for Surrey, Bexley & Bromley said:
“We’re so excited to be launching this brand-new fundraising event and hope our young supporters enjoy stretching their legs and going for a little waddle with Penelope.
“Christmas can be a difficult time for those who are bereaved, living with a terminal illness or caring for a loved one at the end of life. By taking part in the Penguin Parade, you can help us continue to be there for everyone who will need us now and in the future.
“Penelope hopes to join in on all the fun, but a little birdie tells us that stocks of Penelope the Penguin are limited, so pull your flipper out, and sign up now!”
