About Walk the walk worldwide
Walk the Walk Worldwide: Power Walking for a Cause
Walk the Walk Worldwide is a breast cancer charity that has been raising money through power walking challenges since 1996. The organization was founded by Nina Barough, who was inspired to start the charity after losing her own mother to breast cancer. Since then, Walk the Walk has raised over £133 million for breast cancer causes and has become one of the largest grant-making charities in the UK.
The charity's flagship event is the MoonWalk Marathon, which takes place annually in London, Scotland and Iceland. Participants walk either a half or full marathon distance through city streets at night while wearing decorated bras to raise awareness of breast cancer. The event attracts thousands of participants each year and has become an iconic symbol of fundraising for breast cancer research.
In addition to the MoonWalk Marathons, Walk the Walk also organizes other power walking challenges throughout the year. These include shorter walks such as The Twilight Walk and The SunWalk, as well as longer events like The Arctic Challenge and The Sahara Trek.
All funds raised by participants go towards supporting breast cancer causes around the world. This includes funding research into new treatments and therapies, providing support services for those affected by breast cancer, and raising awareness about early detection and prevention.
One unique aspect of Walk the Walk's fundraising efforts is their commitment to using sustainable materials in their events. All participants are encouraged to use reusable water bottles instead of disposable plastic ones, while all event signage is made from recycled materials.
In addition to their fundraising efforts, Walk the Walk also works with other organizations around the world on initiatives related to breast health education and advocacy. They have partnered with organizations such as Breast Cancer Now in England and Susan G Komen in America on various projects aimed at improving outcomes for those affected by breast cancer.
Overall, if you're looking for a way to make a difference while getting fit at the same time, participating in one of Walk the Walk's power walking challenges is a great way to do it. Not only will you be supporting a worthy cause, but you'll also be joining a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
