Woking-based cancer charity Walk the Walk is marking 30 years of making a difference for people affected by breast and other cancers, with the launch of a powerful new film.

The film is an exclusive look into the Walk the Walk (WTW) archives across the years, including images from the first overnight fundraising MoonWalks organised by the charity.

The new film reflects on the huge difference which Walk the Walk has made. Highlights from Walk the Walk’s timeline include:

1996 – Nina Barough completes the New York City Marathon with 12 others, raising £25,000 for breast cancer.

2006 – WTW starts funding a long-running campaign to remove the postcode lottery of scalp cooling, a treatment helping chemotherapy patients keep their hair.

2017 – WTW is the principal funder of Maggie’s Forth Valley, the second cancer care centre WTW has helped to build

2020 – Breast Cancer Now scientist Dr Damir Vareslija starts his five-year Walk the Walk Fellowship, looking into secondary breast cancer and how breast cancer cells spread to the brain

Since 1996, Walk the Walk has inspired half a million people wearing brightly decorated bras and colourful bra T-shirts to take one of the charity’s MoonWalk challenges, as well as other walking events across the globe.

Women, men and young people of all abilities have united to raise more than £148 million, for cancer prevention, research, and the emotional and physical care of those living with cancer.

Walk the Walk CEO David Wright said: "Every walker, volunteer, fundraiser, supporter, partner and staff member has played a part in creating a community which has changed lives and brought hope to so many people affected by breast and other cancers.

“I hope this film reminds people of the power of coming together for such an important cause and inspires even more people to join us on the next steps on our journey."
