The walkers at this year’s event, including women who have had breast cancer, are set to raise over £135,000 for women, men, family and friends affected by the disease.

Walkers will be invited to write a personal message on a ribbon, which can be added to the display of ribbons at the end of the walk, and will also receive a celebratory medal at the finish.

Preena added: “Our display of ribbons is home to 15 years’ worth of messages of love and support. We hold on to every single one and we can’t wait for you to add yours.”

Every year, around 62,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK.

The Pink Ribbon Walk registration fee is £20. For more information about the event, visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk/ribbonwalk.
