Get Your Quack On! Dalkeith Country Park to Host Doddie Duck Race in Support of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation
April 2024
Grab your rubber duckies and mark your calendars because Dalkeith Country Park is gearing up for a quack-tastic charity event - the Doddie Duck Race!
On Sunday 5th May 2024, families and friends are invited to join in the fun and cheer on their favourite not-so-feathered friend as they race down the River Esk, all in support of charity partner My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.
Participants can adopt their very own duck for the race, with ALL ticket proceeds going towards supporting My Name'5 Doddie Foundation and their mission to tackle Motor Neuron Disease (MND).
But that's not all - the fun doesn't stop with the races! Customers will enjoy a whole host of activities throughout the day. From tasty treats from local food vendors, refreshing Cold Town beer, face painting, live music, and a prize-tastic raffle. Visitors are also encouraged to climb aboard the iconic Doddie tractor for fun family photo opps.
"We're thrilled to bring the Duck Race back to Dalkeith Country Park, this time in support of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation," said Sophie Barr, Head of Attractions & Events at Dalkeith Country Park. "It's a chance for the whole community to come together, enjoy some friendly competition, and raise vital funds for an important cause. Plus, who can resist the sight of hundreds of rubber ducks racing down the river?"
Paul Thompson, Director of Fundraising and Communication at My Name’5 Doddie Foundation said: “Finding effective treatments for MND is a team effort and partnerships like this play an important role in enabling the Foundation to invest in vital research.”
Grab your sun hats and your best duck-themed attire and join us for a quacking good time at Dalkeith Country Park on Sunday 5th May. Let's make waves and support My Name'5 Doddie Foundation in their fight against MND.
