Breast cancer charity Walk the Walk is celebrating 20 years of Walking the Walk with the 2016 MoonWalk London.
This iconic night-time challenge will see thousands of women (and some men) walking through the streets of the capital at midnight on Saturday 14th May, wearing the charity’s trademark brightly decorated bras.
This annual event has become a much-loved night in the London calendar and there’s no limit to how wild and wonderful the bras will be or how much money will be raised for breast cancer charities!
Entries for The MoonWalk London opened in October (Breast Cancer Awareness month) with walkers having the choice of two challenges – either a Half Moon (13.1 miles) or a Full Moon (26.2 miles). But it is not too late to sign up if you would like to do so here.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary, International retro girl band The Tootsie Rollers wrote and recorded a song supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Walk the Walk. The song Walk the Walk is inspired by The MoonWalk . You can download it from iTunes here and help make a difference to the fight against breast cancer. All proceeds from the single are to be donated to the charity.
Over the past 20 years, Walk the Walk has not only been dedicated to raising awareness and millions of pounds for breast cancer causes, but also passionate about encouraging women of all ages to set their own goal and to take more responsibility for their own well-being.
Nina Barough CBE, chief executive and founder of Walk the Walk said: “It feels like only yesterday that the small group of just 13 women Walked the Walk for the first time in New York. It was only meant to be a one-off fundraising event, so to be celebrating 20 years of the charity and raising over £104 million is somewhat mind boggling, but wonderful!
“By signing up for The MoonWalk, not only will people be raising money and awareness but at the same time they can become healthier and fitter which, as we now know, is a fundamental part of cancer prevention. It is a very empowering night to share with friends, family, and colleagues; have a lot of fun and help raise £6 million for vital breast cancer causes. With everybody’s help, Walking the Walk can save lives.”
