Everyone has their own reason for taking part in the Pink Ribbonwalks - and our events would not be so special without our enthusiastic and committed supporters.
Since 2005, we are extremely proud to tell you that Breast Cancer Care’s Pink Ribbonwalk, in association with woman&home, has raised a staggering £4.5 million.
However, with more and more people being diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK, we need to ensure that Breast Cancer Care are here to support each and every person who faces a breast cancer diagnosis, along with their friends and family.
With your help we can continue to be here for those who need us most - join us at a Pink Ribbonwalk this summer and raise money to help people affected by breast cancer.

Please take a look at photographs from last year's events in the slideshow below and read just a few comments we received subsequently:
"I completed the 20 mile walk with my friend and mum, and I have to say that it was the best charity fundraising event I have taken part in. The walk was a beautiful route, the volunteers were all so friendly and encouraging and the rest stops with all the refreshments were so gratefully received! I was really impressed with it all.’"

"Just to let you know that the walk was brilliant. I did the 20 miles with 4 friends and we were so impressed by the organisation on the day and the support staff.
" Highlight of the day was the oranges and cut up fruit at each stop.... a life saver in that heat. Also the availability of water and brilliant signposting and marshals everywhere. Everyone was so helpful and positive it made the day unforgettable. We are all keen to do it again next year...... Are we mad?
"A perfect day."

"It was a great occasion with a wonderful friendly atmosphere. I was really impressed with the number of young women taking part. Not forgetting the men - it was good to see them walking for loved ones too."
Pink Ribbonwalker 2009"I just wanted to write to say thank you for the excellent organisation of the Blenheim Palace Ribbon Walk on Saturday.
"I was one of the 20 mile walkers and I walked along with 3 friends and we all agreed that the whole event, from start to finish was expertly organised and seemed to run like clockwork, even the parking was easy!
"Please pass on our thanks to your army of volunteers who kept smiling and encouraging us for the whole 20 miles. Everyone we met had a cheery grin and time for a few words to keep us going, some people who lived along the route came out with cold water and one had even engineered a welcoming shower from his garden for everyone who passed by.
" It was a truly memorable day and the stunning setting of Blenheim Palace and the beautiful countryside makes it even more so.
"All four of us finished tired and a little sore, but elated at our achievement and between us we raised about £2000 for Breast Cancer Care.
"Thank you once again."
