Start and Finish Line

Virtual MoonWalkers are you ready to go! No matter where you are in the country or world, every challenger needs a good Start Line and even more importantly a fantastic Finish Line!

Here are a few tips on how to create yours…

No:1 Creating your start is always easier if you have something to work from… a gate… a couple of trees… two garden umbrellas stuck in the ground… your front door… your garage doors… and if all else fails two loyal friends or family positioned in the right place… as long as they return for the Finish!

No:2 The ribbon or tape to walk through is a must… this could be a piece of string… a pink ribbon of course… crochet a rope or even a chain of bras all linked together (the loyal friends may not want to part with their bras… but they might be happy to hold each end of the chain!)

No:3 Decorating your Start creates drama, so use any bunting or flags you may have… Balloons, as long as they are environmentally friendly… but if you want to keep it pink… try making your own bunting or make some streamers and flowers out of crepe paper!

No: 4 Take a photo! By the time you have your decorated bra… T-shirt… cap and raring to go smile… who needs decoration… YOU ARE ALL WE NEED!

No: 5 Don’t forget to share your Start and Finish line photos on our Event page!

Sneaky Peek… Updated 20/5/22

It's Good News Week… The countdown is on, your packs will be on their way in the next couple of days and, here at HQ, we are full speed ahead to get all the final information to you!

Walker Packs!

Our grand plan was to get these to you several weeks ago. However… What we were not expecting is all the ‘stuff’ going on in the world which unfortunately has had an impact on our deliveries!

But this is Good News Week… and we are very happy to tell you that the Event Packs will go out in the next couple of days and will be hitting your doorsteps very soon!

Inside your pack, you will find your T-shirt, Cap, All-Weather Poncho, Space Blanket and of course ‘Your Hero’ Bra to decorate, as wild, wonderful and beautiful as Your Hero is!

Over the coming week's information about the actual night itself will be coming fast and furious on Sneaky Peaks, so keep your eyes peeled!

YOU are our trail blazing MoonWalkers!

Information about the day itself, start times, support, tracking your challenge and lots more will all be revealed here on our next Virtual Sneaky Peaks… One thing we can share is that you really are our trail blazers for our big comeback MoonWalk weekend. So we hope you are as excited as we are!

Exciting News from Hazell Dean!

If you haven’t already seen it... We are delighted to share that the digital release of Hazell Dean’s ‘The Way Old Friends Do’ on Friday 6th May 2022 is doing very well in the iTunes charts.

 This very special release of two beautiful mixes – ‘Moonwalking Mix’ & ‘Jaynebows Mix’ has become a bit of an anthem for Walk the Walk and will be raising money and supporting our work, as Hazell is very generously donating 50% of any profits to the charity!

Many of you will know just what a special supporter we have in Hazell Dean… Last year, Hazell recorded the most fantastic version of ‘The Way Old Friends Do’ written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. So, download yours here, every download makes a difference…

Supporting you from afar... 

Oh... the excitement is building… Choosing a Start Time for your Virtual MoonWalk on 11 June means we can give you the best support possible. It might be Virtual, but we want you to know others are out there walking… and you might even see kindred spirits!

We would also love to support you on the day by text and even try to call as many of you as possible... make sure you put 01483 741430 in your mobile so you don't miss us! More news on the day to follow soon.
