Thousands of rubber duckies float to the finish in London charity race
Thousands of rubber ducks raced to the finish line in central London on Thursday, July 25, in an event supporting Cosmic Charity, who look after babies and children in intensive care.
After being launched off a nearby bridge and into the canal, staff on paddle boards helped propel the rubber ducks down a 100-meter stretch to the finish line.
"It's a lovely community event...everybody just loves this event because it's such a good, fun family event," Acting Chief Executive of Cosmic Charity, Lynsey Carrington, said about the event.
Revelers could sponsor a duck to take part in the race, with funds going to Cosmic Charity.
