Robert ‘Bob’ Mitchell from The Munch Box said he and his friend Lee Knowles were organising the duck race.

Bob organised the duck race in previous years for various different charities and it was a big success.

Previous events saw around 300 rubber ducks being raced on the stretch of the Lancaster Canal next to the Canal Turn.

Helen Hartin, a community fundraiser with CancerCare, said: “It’s fantastic that Bob and Lee are organising the event for CancerCare.

“It’s a fun event for the whole community and everyone can take part on Easter Sunday.

“We really appreciate Bob and Lee’s support as all money raised will enable us to support even more people who are having to deal with cancer. As we’re in our 35th year, it’s a great time to be supporting CancerCare.”
