I have walked the Moonwalk in London at various times and been inspired on every occasion. The atmosphere is electric and the bonds you develop with other walkers are ones you will always remember and cherish. I 'walked the walk' with my friends, my relatives and my Mum, who was suffering from cancer at the time.

Following the loss of my Mum in 2006, after a six year battle, I could not think of a better way to keep her memory alive, together with the memory of many others, than by creating our own walk locally. Easier to researve a place,no major travelling expenses, local people walking for a local charity and ALL for one common cause - to help local patients and families through their cancer journey.

The aim of the StarWalk event is two-fold. Firstly, to raise awareness of CancerCare and the services we offer and, secondly, to raise much needed funds to help CancerCare keep up with demand for our services from local people who's lives are affected by cancer.

So ladies, get those trainers on and register today! Whether you are walking in memory of a loved one or as a personal challenge, it's a moonlight experience you will never forget.
 

About CancerCare

CancerCare has grown considerably in recent years, enabling us to care for more local people. We are a local charity dedicated to the support of people with cancer, their families and their carers, and those bereaved by cancer. Cancercare offers a range of therapies which are used to encourage and support each person to adjust to their own new situation. Sessions are provided at our two centres, Slynedales in Lancaster and the Lakes Centre in Kendal, with some additional support provided in our other local health care settings and in the community in the Barrow area. Our services are priceless to the individuals who benefit, but it is only the kindness and generosity of the public that allows us to continue this network of support.
