Walk the Walk Founder and Trustee Nina Barough CBE reflected:-

Walk the Walk has always been about bringing people together for the good of all, and Saturday’s MoonWalk London was no exception. It was a celebration of a thirty-year movement which has been at the forefront of funding groundbreaking research and instrumental in how breast cancer is diagnosed and treated today. The charity has also raised incredible awareness about the importance of integrated care and of course encouraging everyone to start walking as an important way of helping to keep our nation healthy.

The MoonWalk on Saturday was a dynamic mix of neon energy and excitement as very loyal and long-supporting Walkers and Volunteers welcomed many new Moonwalkers eager to be a part of the action. Together everyone Walked the Walk, celebrating three very successful decades and the start of a new era for the charity
