From leopards, to lynx, lemurs and lions, Walk the Walk is hoping people will let their imaginations run wild as they decorate their Jungle Safari inspired bras to wear at the event.

Open to people aged 10 and over, Walkers can take on one of four challenges: The New Moon (6.55 miles), Half Moon (13.1 miles), Full Moon (26.2 miles) or Over The Moon (52.4 miles).

Eighty-thousand people have taken part in The MoonWalk Scotland over the years, helping to raise more than £19.6 million. Most of the money raised from the event stays in Scotland to help improve the lives of people with cancer now. Around 4,600 women and men in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

Nina Barough CBE, Founder and Chief Executive of Walk the Walk said: “The MoonWalk Scotland is a magical night when determination and inspiration, touched with the extraordinary, unite to raise much needed awareness about the importance of breast care and to raise money for those with cancer in Scotland.
