Walk the Walk came into being over 10 years ago when just 13 women power walked The New York Marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. What started out as a once only fundraising event has blossomed into a thriving charity raising to date in excess of £35 million for breast cancer research and cancer care.
The charity was founded by Nina Barough who at that time had a styling and production business. Nina woke up one morning with what seemed a brilliant idea – to Power Walk the New York marathon in decorated bras to raise money for breast cancer. What makes this story so incredible is that Nina at that time had no experience whatsoever of fund raising, or taking part in a marathon nor did she know anyone who had been affected by breast cancer.
What started there has now become a major charity with many fundraising events aimed at supporting Breast cancer Research and awareness. These events are spearheaded by The London MoonWalk - the event in which we will be taking part. You can find out more about it at http://www.walkthewalk.org.
