Hesleden Primary School pupils Isla Morris, nine, Rosa Dixon, nine, Peyton Brown, eight, and Alice Bell, eight, will attempt to walk five miles along the railway line from Castle Eden to Crimdon Car Park to raise funds.
The youngsters are currently working towards getting a charity badge in Brownies, which gave them the idea to help out their school.
