Available for over a year

Up to 15,000 fundraisers, mostly women set off on a 26 mile annual 'Moon Walk' through the streets of central London raising money and awareness of breast cancer. And they do it in their bras. The fundraisers aren't just women. A number of brave men also take on the challenge. Amongst them is Richard Falk from Hamble. Richard's wife Emma Pontin lost her nine year battle with breast cancer in January 2016. Richard told BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley that he and around 40 of Emma's family & friends are donning their bras in memory of a lady who relished a challenge.
