Ms Barough, chief executive of the charity, said: “The past 18 months has had an impact on all our lives in one way or another, so Walk the Walk’s Virtual SunWalk Festival is just a wonderful opportunity for families, friends, work colleagues, neighbours and everyone you know, to finally get together, put up the bunting, create their own Start and Finish, cook up some delicious treats to eat at the end of the walk and have some summer fun.
“The impact of covid on Cancer patients has been devastating, so to create a week where people can reach personal goals, have a great time and where every step contributes towards helping those living with the physical and mental anxieties of cancer.”
Research shows that being active can help prevent diseases including breast cancer. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, a low level of physical activity alone is responsible for 7.5% of breast cancers.
