76 Cancer charity Walk the Walk is marking 30 years of making a difference for people affected by breast and other cancers, with the launch of a powerful new film. The film offers an exclusive look through Walk the Walk’s archives, featuring images from the charity’s first overnight MoonWalk fundraising events. It also includes an interview with MoonWalker Lecy Robinson, pictured second from right with her Silsoe Calendar Girls team at the 2014 MoonWalk. Archive highlights include Walk the Walk founder Nina Barough CBE crossing the finish line of the 1997 London Marathon, the achievement that inspired the creation of the MoonWalks, and Harriet Thorpe with her close friend, the late Victoria Wood, ahead of the 2003 MoonWalk London event. The new film reflects on three decades of progress and the impact Walk the Walk has made in supporting people affected by breast cancer. Highlights from the charity’s history include 1996: Barough completes the New York City Marathon with 12 others, raising £25,000 for breast cancer. 2006: Walk the Walk begins funding a long-term campaign to end the postcode lottery for scalp cooling, helping chemotherapy patients reduce hair loss during treatment. 2017: Walk the Walk becomes the principal funder of Maggie’s Forth Valley, the second cancer support centre it helped to build. 2020: Dr Damir Varešlija begins a five-year Walk the Walk Fellowship investigating secondary breast cancer and how breast cancer cells spread to the brain. The overnight MoonWalk events, inspired by Barough’s early marathon fundraising efforts, have become the hallmark of the charity’s work. Participants power walk full and half marathon distances through city streets overnight, raising awareness of breast cancer and related causes while fostering a strong sense of community. Since 1996, Walk the Walk has inspired more than half a million people to take part in its MoonWalk challenges and other walking events around the world, many wearing brightly decorated bras or colourful bra T-shirts. Together, women, men, and young people of all abilities have raised more than £148 million to support cancer prevention, research, and the emotional and physical care of people living with cancer. Walk the Walk CEO David Wright said: “This film is a celebration of the incredible people who have made Walk the Walk what it is over the past 30 years. Every walker, volunteer, fundraiser, supporter, partner, and staff member has played a part in creating a community that has changed lives and brought hope to so many people affected by breast and other cancers. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together, but we’re just as excited about what comes next. There’s still so much more we can do. I hope this film reminds people of the power of coming together for such an important cause and inspires even more people to join us as we take the next steps on our journey.” The charity continues to organise walking challenges for people of all ages and abilities, combining physical activity with fundraising to support cancer research, treatment-related care, and emotional support services. Free-to-use video footage and images from the film, along with a full timeline of Walk the Walk’s 30-year history, are available for anyone wishing to view or share the charity’s story.
