Afternoon, did any of you do the moon walk last night around London? First the not so good bits, I'm truly broken with bad blisters and sore joints, why are miles so long when walks them😬 Not enough toilets.
The good bits, wow the parts of London that we walked/staggered/stumbled where very clean and tidy, the volunteers where great at geeeing you along, the street performers helped pass the time as well. Loved seeing all the lite up sights as we walked round.
It was nice to perv but you soon get bored seeing cleavages and bums in very tight Lycra😀😀
The highlight was seeing a rather impatient irate old chap in his xreg Bentley drive over a curb rather than wait 20seconds for the car in front to move, unfortunately the said curb had one of those cast bell shape pieces of street furniture that is immovable. The damage started at the about 3/4 along the passenger door and then the rear door then the wheel and finally the bumper. maybe 150-200 people saw him do it and a lot cheered as he just drove off.

I raised about £350.

FAQ said:
Can men enter The MoonWalk?
YES! Men can Walk the Walk too but they don't get away with not wearing a bra as The MoonWalk is all about raising awareness and wearing a decorated bra is the Walk the Walk trademark and one of the reasons we manage to raise so much awareness and money for our vital causes!
Because breast cancer only ever affects women, no man ever has ever had breast cancer. Ever.

Cancer Research:

How common male breast cancer is
In men, breast cancer is very rare. There are about 350 men diagnosed each year in the UK, compared with around 50,000 cases of breast cancer in women.

NHS:
The outlook for breast cancer is not as good in men as in women. This is because there's reduced awareness of the condition and it may take longer to diagnose.

Mrs. Molehusband did it. She's not sure she would repeat it as it was very gruelling with long queues for the toilet adding about an hour to the overall time. However she had good fun with her mates, saw all the London sites and raised £548 smile

We're signing up Thursday for next years, only doing 1/2marathon though. I did it as my wife had breast cancer and has only just finished her treatment. My wife is doing it as well. Team doing it for Dee part three. Myself and my sister did it last night, we've got 8 victims so far..

Ah the toilets, not sure how they could make that better, we found a pub and used there facilities,very lucky.I saw people crying in the queue for the toilets as they had seized up. Saw loads of people running into parks under the cover of darkness for a quick tinkle. Well done Mrs molehusband.

my Dad had it. lump on his chest. found it early, mastectomy on his right side, session of chemo, all good now.

remember everyone, any lumps or bumps anywhere on your body, go to the doctors straight away. do NOT sit and think it is nothing and will go away.
