Over the last 30 years, half a million men and women have walked with us and united against breast and other cancers.

Walk the Walk came into being in 1996 when just 13 women Power Walked the New York City Marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. What started as a one-off fundraising event, dreamt up by Founder and CEO, Nina Barough, has now blossomed into a thriving multi-million-pound charity, raising to date in excess of £134 million for vital breast cancer causes.

For National Mammography Day, we’re sharing Katrina’s story💕

In 2023, Katrina was diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine mammogram. Despite regularly checking herself and having no family history of breast cancer, her cancer was found early and was very treatable.

After surgery and radiotherapy, Katrina is sharing her story to encourage others to attend their mammogram appointments when invited.

Her message is simple: early detection matters. 💗

At Walk the Walk, we’re also campaigning to lower the routine breast screening age from 50 to 40, so more women have the opportunity to detect breast cancer earlier.

Sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply show up 💗

A cancer diagnosis can affect so much more than your physical health. It can bring worry, uncertainty, fear and days when everything feels a little harder.

You don't need to know what to say. Just being there can mean everything.

A walk. A cuppa. A phone call. A listening ear. A “how are you really doing?”

This World Mental Health Day, let's remember to check in with the people we care about and remind them that they don't have to go through it alone 💗

Who could you check in on today?

Giles started checking himself due to his family history of breast cancer - that's when he found a lump.

He told us that “I recall the mammogram waiting room as rather surreal! I was the only man (apart from a few husbands) in the breast cancer clinic waiting room… the hospital had to order in guidance leaflets for me especially, as they had none in stock!”

Giles was also one of six men who helped us launch our ‘Men Get Breast Cancer Too’ campaign back in 2017, sharing his experience to help challenge the misconception that breast cancer only affects women.

Years later, his message is just as important.

Men can get breast cancer too. Knowing the signs, checking your chest and speaking to your GP about any changes can help raise awareness and encourage earlier diagnosis.

Let’s keep talking about it. 💙

Breast cancer doesn’t wait until you’re 50. So why does routine breast screening?

Our survey results highlight what so many people already know from personal experience: breast cancer affects women under 50, and too many are being diagnosed outside NHS routine breast screening.

And here’s the thing, even when people don’t know the full scale of breast cancer diagnoses in younger women, they still recognise that change is needed. 👀

The message is clear: people want routine breast screening to start earlier, with many believing that lowering the age to 40 still doesn’t go far enough.

At Walk the Walk, alongside our Clinical Ambassador Gemma Reeves, we’re campaigning to lower the routine NHS breast screening age from 50 to 40. Because earlier detection matters, and age shouldn’t be a barrier💗

Do you think NHS routine breast screening should start at 40? Let us know in the comments

Meet our new Clinical Ambassador! 💗

We’re thrilled to announce that Chemotherapy Nurse Gemma Reeves has joined Walk the Walk as our new Clinical Ambassador 👏

Gemma has been campaigning alongside us to lower the routine NHS breast screening age from 50 to 40, taking the issue all the way to Parliament in a Westminster Hall debate.

As a chemotherapy nurse, Gemma sees first-hand the impact of breast cancer and the importance of earlier diagnosis - and she’s determined to help drive change.

Gemma told us that - “For me, it’s about finding breast cancer earlier, when treatment can potentially be less invasive and outcomes can be better.”

We’re so excited to have Gemma officially joining the Walk the Walk team and bringing her clinical expertise, frontline experience and passion for change to our campaigns

Welcome to the team, Gemma! 💗
