In case you'd missed it, it's BBC Children in Need Day today...
The money raised goes towards causes like the Sheffield-based charity Support Dogs.
One of the charity's labrador retrievers, Azerley, works as an autism assistance dog for nine-year-old Cohen in Kilnhurst:
A woman from North Yorkshire who's sleeping rough in her car after losing her home says people on low wages are just one payday away from a crisis.
Wendy was working full time, but says she couldn't afford to carry on paying her rent and other bills.
She says she's been forced to sleep in her vehicle because she can't afford to buy property in the area:
The government says no-one should be without a roof over their head and from next year the Homelessness Reduction Act will require councils to provide earlier support.
It's Children in Need Day - which means BBC Look North's Harry Gration putting his body on the line again, all in the name of charity.
Already this week he's crashed into a wall during an army assault course, been caving in the Yorkshire Dales and been locked into a set of stocks - and pelted with wet sponges.
The final challenge has him tethered at the ankle to Look North weather presenter Paul Hudson as they totter from Huddersfield to Halifax.
Harry and Paul's route left St George's Square in Huddersfield at just after 08:00.
They'll now wend their way through Elland, Rastrick, Brighouse and Hipperholme before scaling the dreaded Shibden Wall and reaching Halifax's Piece Hall at about 17:00 - or at least that's the plan.

A cold start for Yorkshire but then a mainly dry day with some sunshine.
Watch my forecast here:
About £3m worth of spending on new cycle routes in York and West Yorkshire could be approved today.
The money would pay for the next phases of the Greenway, between Castleford and Wakefield, eventually linking up with the trans-Pennine trail.
There's also cash for a new route over Scarborough bridge in York.
As the search for missing 14-year-old Selby girl Kianna McCarthy continues, police say anyone with information about her whereabouts should get in touch with them "immediately".
Image source, North Yorkshire PoliceKianna was last seen on Monday on the A19 by Silver Street, Whitley.
She was on foot and is believed to have been accompanied by another girl at the time and it's thought she may have travelled to the London area.
She's described as about 5ft 4ins tall, white and of medium build, with very long auburn hair.
The amount of money spent protecting MPs has gone up by more than £2m since the murder of Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox last year.
Image source, Jo Cox FamilyThe Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority says a standard package of security measures is available to all MPs and has been recommended by security advisers and the police.
Ms Cox was murdered by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair as she arrived to host a surgery in Birstall in June 2016.
It's a cold start to the day, so if you're travelling by car you might want to nip out five minutes early to clear the ice away:

Plans to penalise rail passengers in Yorkshire who don't purchase tickets before travelling are being discussed today.
Image source, PAArriva Rail North, which runs many local services in Yorkshire, is set to meet members of the Combined Authority today.
The firm will update the authority on plans for a trial scheme where passengers would be fined for travelling on a train without buying a ticket beforehand.
A so-called penalty fare of either twice the price of what the ticket would have been, or £20, would then be issued to the customer.
It's not yet known when this will be introduced.
Here's a sneak look at the preparations BBC Look North presenter and, er, top athlete Harry Gration as he wraps up ahead of his day spent tied to BBC weather presenter Paul Hudson.
The intrepid duo plan to walk from Huddersfield to Halifax lashed together at the ankle for BBC Children in Need.
This is how Harry's day has started:

The funeral of Sheffield comedian Bobby Knutt is due to take place later.
The funnyman was first known nationally for his performances on the Granada Television show The Comedians and The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club.
Later in life, he starred in many pantomimes in South Yorkshire, before gaining a part on the ITV sitcom Benidorm.
The comedian also hosted a request show on BBC radio Sheffield in the 1990s.
He died on holiday in France in September and his funeral is due to be held in Wentworth at about 13:00.
