Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
If you are wondering about the picture this is because we will be dressing up as fembots specially for the walk!

A bit of background - Walk the Walk is a breast cancer charity that raises the awareness of and funding for breast cancer research and cancer care, and is also passionate in encouraging women and men in becoming fitter and healthier, taking more responsibility for their own wellbeing as a vital part of prevention.  The charity has funded some key research projects, including granting 50% of the set-up costs for the Generation study, which is perhaps the largest and most comprehensive investigation ever to be undertaken into the causes of breast cancer

Em and I are carrying out the marathon powerwalk as raising money for breast cancer charities is extremely important to both of us.  11 years ago my mother had breast cancer and so raising money is something I feel extremely strongly about.

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK.  Each year more than 44,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, that's more than 100 women a day and around 300 men are diagnosed with it a year.  Breast cancer rates have increased by more than 50% over the last twenty years.

Last year my parents took part in the Moonwalk and completed the 26 miles and 385 yards in just over 8 hours, and so this year Emily and I are determined to beat this time by at least an hour, the training has started and the race is on!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us:  Walk the Walk Worldwide will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.  However, if you would rather donate off-line we are happy to receive sponsorship this way too!

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
