Breast cancer support walk raises more than £25k

A cheerful group of people is gathered outdoors on a sunny early evening. They are all dressed in inflatable pink and beige costumes with bright pink hats, sunglasses, and various hand held signs promoting breast cancer awareness. Some of the signs read “No one fights alone,” and “Big and small, save them all.” Tim Langlois

More than 1,500 people took part in the Sunset Walk

A walk in Guernsey to support a breast cancer charity has raised more than £25,000, organisers say.

More than 1,500 people took part in the Sunset Walk on 28 June to support the Pink Ladies organisation.

Many started a 10.5-mile (17km) route at Grandes Rocques, before being joined at Bordeaux by other walkers for a shorter 3.5-mile (5.6km) course, before everyone finished in Town's Market Square for a celebratory party.

All the money raised would be used to support islanders affected by breast cancer and help increase awareness of the disease, organisers said.

Local charity chair Naomi Leach said this year's walk had more people taking part, and raised more money than when the event last happened in 2023, and the team was already excited to get planning for the next one in June 2027.
