It’s now 20 years since the first Moonwalk took place, when 13 women power-walked the New York marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

Now, it’s firmly established as a fixture on the sporting calendar and has raised hundreds of millions pounds across the UK to help fight the disease.

This year’s Moonwalk was no exception with thousands streaming out of Hyde Park to walk through the night in their bras, braving the cold and fatigue to continue a movement started in New York all those years ago.

The driving force behind the event is Nina Barough, one of the 13 women who braved the New York cold all those years ago. She discovered she had breast cancer herself just weeks after completing that marathon and hasn’t stopped raising money for the cause since. The charity she founded, Walk the Walk, has now raised over £100m and has now spread its wings well beyond the confines of the capital.

The event continues to attract women all of ages in their thousands on an annual basis. It remains of the UK’s largest and best loved all-female participation events.
