Registration is open to anyone age 13 or over and costs £30 per person with a minimum sponsorship of £100 per person.

Plus for those on the ground watching the brave souls you can meet the spectacular Owls Out and About where you can hold some amazing species of owls, including an African Spotted Eagle Owl, European Eagle Owl and many more.

Catherine Bristow, Events Fundraiser commented :“As a charity the families we help rely on us so much and we want to continue to help them. Events like these which raise money means we can continue to do that. Children with cerebral palsy may have a range of physical and cognitive impairments which affect their lives, one in three are unable to walk, one in four are unable to talk and three in four experience pain as an example. The service we provide can be life changing and it is completely free of charge. The public have been great in supporting our events and I hope they can help us once again.”
