International Women's Day - 8 March

It's a day to acknowledge and honour women around the world for the contributions they make each day to society.

We want to say a MASSIVE thank you to each and every woman that has taken part in any of our challenges, whether that be through Walking or Volunteering. You have made a huge difference to the lives of those with cancer, with every step taken, with every penny raised and with every piece of encouragement given!

We also want to celebrate Walk the Walk's Founder and Chief Executive, Nina Barough. From having a dream of walking the New York Marathon in a bra, raising money and awareness for breast cancer causes... to the grant-making breast cancer charity, Walk the Walk and the annual MoonWalks, raising over £134 million. 

So, here's to you all! Happy International Women's Day!

Walk the Walk Fellow Dr Damir Varešlija - Research Progress

“Thanks to the breast cancer patients that have kindly donated their tumour samples for research, I’ve been comparing tumours from the breast to those tumours that spread to the brain. We’ve made some great progress and have started to paint a clear picture of what makes those breast cancer cells which spread to the brain so unique”.

Watch the video for an update from our Walk the Walk Fellow, Dr Damir Varešlija! Thanks to money raised by our wonderful supporters, Dr Varešlija will be researching breast cancer which has spread to the brain until 2025.

Research into secondary breast cancer is so important – this is why we Walk the Walk.
