Cosmic Charity, which supports babies and children in intensive care, organized a rubber duck race in a London canal.
About 3,000 rubber ducks were launched off a bridge and bobbed 100 meters downriver.
Attendees could sponsor a duck to take part in the race, with funds going to Cosmic Charity.

Thousands of rubber ducks raced to the finish line in central London on Thursday, July 25, in an event supporting Cosmic Charity, who look after babies and children in intensive care.

After being launched off a nearby bridge and into the canal, staff on paddle boards helped propel the rubber ducks down a 100-meter stretch to the finish line.
