Moonwalkers pound streets at night to raise cash for breast cancer

BRA wearing women will pound the streets of the UK in a marathon bid to raise money for breast cancer.

Some 15,000 women in decorated bras will set off at midnight on May 16 on the 26-mile Moonwalk around London.

And the walkers will include two Huddersfield women, both walking for very personal reasons.

This year the theme is Strictly Walking with the participants asked to wear glitzy, flamboyant gear inspired by the hit TV dance show Strictly Come Dancing.

Veteran Moonwalker, former Honley High School and Huddersfield Technical College student, Lisa Dick, is doing not one but two marathon walks as this year she is taking on the Edinburgh walk as well.

Lisa has tackled the London challenge on three previous occasions in honour of friends who have lost battles with cancer.
