Update on the current situation with the coronavirus

Update for our wonderful Walk the Walk supporters, 

As you know, our wonderful MoonWalks are all on hold. The events will be rolled forward and we know that you are all urgently waiting for news, as are we. Currently, we do have a potential date in the Autumn and we are also looking at 2021. In both cases, we are waiting for government guidelines in relation to holding events and the earliest this has been promised is sometime in June. Just like you, we are patiently waiting for some guidance and as soon as we have any, you can be sure, we will let you all know.

In the meantime, it is of huge concern that our fundraising has almost stopped, and in turn has a huge impact on our benefiting charities, many of which are working on the front line of cancer and struggling to keep going. A lot to try and consider but at the heart of our planning is the health and well-being of our supporters and the Walk the Walk staff, without which we would not be able to consider how to go forward. Events will take place, not only when we have permission but also when we feel it is safe to do so. In the meantime, your continued support is very much appreciated no matter how small… many people can move a mountain, so I know you will be there to help us continue to make a difference where it is needed now more than ever. See more here.

It's increasingly important to keep as healthy as possible and to think creatively about how to keep fit albeit in small spaces. These are uncertain and confusing times for all of us, and easy to let panic take control, but it is human kindness that will get us through, so I ask you to bear a thought for all those working on the front line of the Coronavirus in our hospitals, and also our benefiting charities and those working with cancer patients, now, more than ever they need our support.  

In the meantime we will be keeping in touch with you through our website and social media and would love to hear from you, it is a good time to share your thoughts, and any positive news and if you have any questions or just want a chat, just get in touch

Founder and Chief Executive of Walk the Walk Worldwide
