Are there any COVID-19 related requirements for attending the MoonWalk?

We require each person attending the Live event in June 2022 to show that they are vaccinated against COVID-19 and can show a negative COVID-19 Lateral Flow test result on the NHS App (or relevant method for your country, including printed documents) prior to entry into the event site. Of course, this could be subject to change. More details will be made available in the ensuing months. If you have a medical reason as to why you will not be able to do this then please contact us ([email protected]) before entering.

Do I need to wear a bra?

Wearing a bra to take on a challenge has always been the Walk the Walk trademark and one of the wonderful reasons we have managed to raise so much awareness and money for our vital causes. We know just how much courage it takes, but it is also fantastic FUN! Within minutes of arriving at The MoonWalk, you will feel the spirit, energy and company of thousands of like-minded walkers at this carnival of colours, feathers, fringing and fabulousness… and if you do still feel a little self-conscious, then read on.

What is this year's bra decorating theme?

For one night become 'Your Hero'! So whether you choose your favourite superhero, your childhood hero, or it could be that your mum is Your Hero... get creating and decorate ‘Your Hero’ bra.

What a wonderful way to pay tribute to those that inspire you the most... let your imagination run wild!

Closing dates for entries

For 2022 we have limited places, once registrations are full the event will close. This is what we have all been waiting for, so don't delay!

How do we enter a team?

At the start of your registration, you need to enter a team name and you will automatically become the Team Leader.

Ways to enter your Team Members!

1. After entering the team name, you can then enter the email addresses of your team and they will receive an email inviting them to join. They will need to pay for their own places and complete their registration.
2. Let your team members know the team name, they can then head to our website and select the ‘Join Team’ option on the registration form
3. Once the Team Leader has registered, before they pay, they can choose to register another person. You can then enter the rest of your team members and pay for them, but you will need each person’s details.

Can I have a team taking part in the MoonWalk Virtual and MoonWalk Live?

Yes! Just choose your option on entry and make sure everyone joins the team!

Can I enter for someone else? 
Yes – you may make an online entry for each member of the team, provided that you have their permission to provide the required information (including their unique email address) and accept the terms and conditions on their behalf. 

Can some of us enter to walk half and some full?

Yes. We will do our best to keep you together. Please select the equivalent finish times, shown in the table here and join through the team link or by joining an existing team.

We ask that everyone who enters The MoonWalk aims to raise a minimum of £100. Here are a few ways to help you reach that magical number and more!

Any further questions?

Lots more information will be available closer to the MoonWalk.

When do I receive anything from you?

100 - We ask that everyone who enters The MoonWalk commits to raising a minimum of £100.

£100.00 is a very achievable amount of money to raise and can make a real difference to the lives of people living with breast and other cancers.

Over the past 20 months, Covid -19 has had a devastating impact of isolation, delayed treatments, anxiety and fear for those living with cancer, as well as the many as yet undiagnosed, that is leading to a dramatic increase in later diagnosis, and untreatable cancers.

Raising awareness by taking part in the MoonWalk, and raising precious funds are both really important at this time and we thank you for all your support!

Here are a few ways to help you reach that magic number!

• Share your online page with friends and family. 
• Exchange your time for donations e.g. walking your neighbour’s dog, washing cars.
• Give something up for sponsorship! Go without your favourite treats for a month. Chocolate, alcohol, cake? Can you manage it?

Tops Tips to boost your fundraising page!

An Online Fundraising page will be set up on registration... so make the most of it!

1. Make sure you upload a photo of yourself, so your friends and family can see it’s you!
2. Tell your story! Why are you taking part? Many people walk in memory of someone dear to them, or you could be celebrating your all clear! Or getting a little bit fitter!
3. Make a reasonable size donation first yourself as this sets the standard for those to follow. You make a £25 donation – many will follow you and donate the same amount.
4. Update your page with progress. So, those new trainers, click and post; that soggy training walk; click and post; your decorated bra, click and post! You get the idea!
5. Share your post regularly – every time you update it, share it, so everyone can see your progress and commitment! No need to ask for donations, your page will do it for you!
6. Say thank you! Every time someone supports you be sure to say thank you so they feel appreciated and loved!
7. Share! Share! Share!

Lots of information will be coming soon!

What do I wear?

So that we all look the part in this amazing thousands-strong team and so you are as comfortable as possible we will add a link here with suggestions closer to the MoonWalk.

Can I leave a bag?

More information on this coming soon!

Eating and drinking

Plenty of water will be available at MoonWalk City and along the route. Once you cross the Finish Line, you will be able to purchase some hot food and drink if you wish.

What happens if I don't complete my chosen challenge?

Sadly, there are some people that for many different reasons do not manage to cross the Finish Line. Whilst we have the utmost admiration and congratulate everybody for entering the challenge, we can not give medals to non-finishers as it would diminish the value to those people that do complete the course, sometimes against the odds - after all, completion is part of the challenge! 

More information is available here... please note these are being continually updated!
