👕 Dress Code
Think Pink!
As we come together for this important fundraising walk, we invite all participants to embrace the spirit of the day with our “Think Pink” dress code. This walk is not just about raising funds—it’s about raising awareness, showing support, and standing in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.
Whether it’s a bright pink t-shirt, pink socks, a fun tutu, or even pink accessories—we encourage everyone to wear something pink. Get creative, go bold, and let your outfit reflect the love and hope we’re walking for. Teams are welcome to coordinate their outfits and bring their own pink flair—just make sure it’s comfortable for walking!
Let’s turn the path pink and show the power of community in action!
🪙 Fundraising
All of our services are completely free.
That’s why we’re encouraging all participants to set a minimum fundraising target of £50.
£50 might seem small—but when each of us reaches that goal, the impact is huge. Whether it’s a few friends sponsoring you a fiver each, or hosting a mini bake sale, there are so many simple ways to get there. And remember: every pound raised helps provide support to those who need our support.
