A virtual duck race is to take place to raise money for a centre that provides free support for people with cancer in west London.

The great Maggie's Centres duck race offers participants the chance to customise and name their duck who will then be entered into our virtual race with the chance to win some "quacking prizes".

Your duck(s) will be entered into a heat and the top ducks from each heat will make it to the finals to be in with a chance of winning a prize.

It takes place on Thursday 27 May, 18:30

Watch your duck in the big race on Facebook Live (link provided before the race and you don't need Facebook to watch)

Choose how many ducks you want to buy, each duck you can name and for an extra £1 per duck, personalise with a colour and an accessory.

The winners will be shown at the end of the race and contacted on Friday 28 May.
