A man will dress up as a tortoise while completing a 24 mile charity walk to reflect the resilience seen by children undergoing cancer treatment.
The inspiration for Dave Southby's outfit came from children's cancer charity CALM's logo, which is based on the story of The Hare and the Tortoise.
"Cancer treatment for children can often last for months, and in some cases years," Mr Southby said. "So it made sense for me to reflect that resilience across those 24 miles."
Mr Southby will be joined by work colleagues on the walk from Bath to Devizes on 6 September to raise money for the Swindon charity.
CALM is run by parents and supports families with children going through cancer treatment in the Swindon and Marlborough area.
Fran Robinson, who works for CALM, said that the tortoise has been part of the CALM logo since it was formed in 1984 and aims to give hope to affected families that "slow and steady will win the race".
