It was the next yr, having accomplished my breast most cancers remedy, that I entered one other crew for the London Marathon, however solely managing to safe locations for half of my crew, I got here up with an answer. I created a ‘one-off’ night-time strolling marathon. The first crew began at midnight on the eve of the official London Marathon, handing over within the early hours of the morning, to the crew participating within the official marathon. The MoonWalk London was born. This was to be the primary of its variety mass participation fundraising problem for walkers, Walk the Walk formally grew to become a charity, and the remainder as they are saying, is historical past!
