Burnham-On-Sea cancer charity fundraisers ready for moonlit bra walk

-

A coffee morning will be held at a Burnham-On-Sea church this Saturday (April 7th) to help four charity fundraisers.

Becky Stockwell, Tori Pope, Victoria Derman, Holly Macbeth and Lisa Watts are planning to take part in a night-time fundraising event in London on 12th May, walking 13.8 miles in their bras!

It will benefit Somerset Breast Cancer Now, which is hosting a fundraising coffee morning for the group this Saturday, 7th April at Burnham-On-Sea Baptist Church in College Street.

Taking place from 10.30am – 1.30pm, there will be teas, coffees and cakes plus a raffle.

“We will be helping to raise sponsorship money for Breast Cancer Now in aid of a few of the group doing the Moonwalk.” Their JustGiving fundraising page is available here.

“On 12th May we will be taking part in the Half moon Walk the walk challenge for Breast Cancer Now consisting of 13.8 miles starting at midnight wearing decorative bra’s and we will be pounding the streets of London all for our amazing charity!” says Holly.

“This is a charity close to our heart, as you may or may not be aware we are members of the Somerset Breast Cancer Now group which has now been active for over 21 years, to date we have raised over £515,000.”

“Holly has previously done the Full Marathon and the half marathon walk 3 times! One of these walks she walked with her late mother Christine and former chair of the group so its a very emotional event for Holly to take part in again. So after much convincing from the rest of the girls we have decided that this will be our challenge for 2018.”

“Its an amazing experience being surrounded by thousands of men and women all coming together to do this and to raise a huge amount of vital money for this charity to continue the research into breast cancer.”
