Flipout andhave funwith parade

-

Marie Curie is calling on “flipping fabulous” young fundraiser­s across Monklands to step out this festive season and take part in a penguin parade for families affected by terminal illness.

The newly launched event 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 affected by terminal illness.

The cute fundraiser is fronted by Penelope the Penguin, who will make an appearance in plush toy form at nurseries and schools taking part.

Ross Clift, Marie Curie community fundraiser, 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.”
