Final preparations are underway for the team here at Kidzworld, Cornwall's newest attraction, for our charity event taking place from 5-12 August. Throughout the 7 days, hundreds of adventurers (young and old) shall aim to collectively transverse the DigiWall 5030 times, the same distance it would take to 'cliff climb' the Par to Polperro walk.
The challenge is all in aid of Children's Hospice South West (who are currently building a children's hospice outside St Austell) and every time the wall is crossed, Kidzworld will donate 10 p to charity.
In addition, everyone who completes the wall can request their Wall of Fortune certificate and have their names added to the Kidzworld website.
The Par to Polperro walk is one of Cornwall's most popular cliff walks and is a total of 22,530 metres (14 miles).
Kidzworld is Cornwall's newest visitor attraction with 54'000 sq ft of 'all weather' adventures for the whole family to participate in. With all activities included in entry, families can explore smugglers cove, reach the summit of the tree-house, whoosh down fast slides or successfully climb the DigiWall.

Little Harbour is being built on the outskirts of St Austell and will provide a home from home closer to home for the children of Cornwall and Plymouth. It will enable the charity to provide more care and support to the families who need them. Little Harbour is costing over £5 million to build.
Children's Hospice South West was founded in 1991 by Eddie and Jill Farwell after they experienced for themselves the urgent need for hospice care for children in the South West. Their two eldest children, Katie and Tom, had life-limiting illnesses and they had to travel over four hours, from their home in North Devon to Helen House in Oxford, then the country's only children's hospice. In 1995 Little Bridge House, the South West?s first children's hospice opened its doors to families from across the South West.
