  • This National Volunteers’ Week (2nd– 8th June), cancer charity Walk the Walk is shining the light on the 31,000 volunteers who have played a crucial role in helping to stage its iconic MoonWalk events over the last three decades.
  • Every year hundreds of people across the country kindly donate their time to help The MoonWalk London and The MoonWalk Scotland run smoothly
  • The MoonWalks take place overnight and raise vital funds, which help support those living with breast and other cancers.
  • This National Volunteers’ Week, Walk the Walk is sending a huge “thank you” to all its volunteers, the backbone of its events and the beating heart of The MoonWalk, who make an invaluable contribution to the charity.
  • Karen White from Hitchin (second from left, image 3) volunteers as a cycle marshal at The MoonWalk London with her husband Gareth. She says:

    Volunteering is not just about giving up your time, it’s about making a difference to those who need it. I love to Volunteer, because it reminds me that even my small actions can spark big change and where better than at the iconic MoonWalk! There’s simply nothing like and I’m very proud to play my part.

  • Cathie Purves from Edinburgh (image 4), has been volunteering at The MoonWalk Scotland every year since 2007. She added:

    I would recommend Volunteering to everyone. Donating my time every year at The MoonWalk Scotland is my way of giving something back and I always have such fun, meeting up again with the many friends I’ve made over the years. For anyone thinking of joining Walk the Walk as a Volunteer at this year’s MoonWalk, I’d say just do it. It’s one night of your life and you’ll always get so much more out of it that you’ve put in.

  • Route marshal
