THOUSANDS of volunteers will take to the streets of Edinburgh at midnight tonight to power walk for cancer charities – dressed in jungle-themed bras.
Walk the Walk, a grant-making charity which raises money for cancer charities across Scotland, said the MoonWalk Scotland Jungle Safari Challenge marks the 12th year of the event, which starts and finishes at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. Walkers will be pounding the pavements in decorated bras.
Cathie Purves, a Scottish law accountant and paralegal from Edinburgh, has volunteered at The MoonWalk Scotland every year since 2007.
She said: “Volunteering at The MoonWalk Scotland is inspirational, exciting, worthwhile, and good fun.
“Giving time, energy and encouragement as a volunteer is invaluable to the event’s success.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
