We wrote a book in a day. Now we're walking for it.

Our team takes part in Write A Book In A Day, where we plan, write and illustrate a whole book inside 12 hours. The books go to kids in hospital. The money we raise goes to The Kids' Cancer Project, which funds research into childhood cancer.

Writing the book isn't easy, but raising money is the part we need the city for. So we're putting a walk together: turn a Sunday morning into research funding.
