Hi all,

Over the years here at HQ, we have seen many of you sadly impacted by cancer, either personally or that of a loved one and we wanted to do a little something to try and raise some money for a cancer charity.

We have chosen the MoonWalk in London on the 14th May.
11 of us from MNHQ will be doing the half moon (13.1 miles officially but actually about 15 miles) around London starting at midnight Shock. If you are doing it too, please come and say hi, we'll be wearing MN t-shirts Grin

If you can spare a few quid, we'd be really very grateful. You can DONATE HERE

We promise to post here as we walk and maybe a few pictures too.

That last, rather elegant picture is me.
We're all a bit sore today!

RebeccaMumsnet · 15/05/2016 12:40

Baltz
We saw you and you really lifted us, thanks SO much.

We didn't go over Tower Bridge us half mooners.

RebeccaMumsnet · 15/05/2016 15:18

Well done Godless.
You 26 milers, we salute you!

@BalthazarImpresario

Well done everyone, I spotted you just before you went under the bridge after the oxo tower and yelled at you and told another couple that that Yanbu.

Brilliant job xxx

As B said, it really did lift our spirits but we couldn't come back and whoop properly. Sorry

UTTER respect for the 26 milers, I take my( white) hat off to you all
Huge thanks for all the support

I am not as adept as posting on mob and walking as RebeccaMN but here is my VERY dark and murky photographic contribution from the evening (probs should have used the flash, innit)

@OohMrDarcy

Which start were you guys in? I looked out but didn't have a hope of spotting you really!

We were start 4 - left about 11.30. It was much colder than I thought it would be!

RebeccaMumsnet · 16/05/2016 17:14

@OohMrDarcy

Same start as me then! Did you see the silly driver force his way through the swarm of ladies - with the Police Traffic Officer guy trying to stop him?!

YES! Fairly early on, was a 4x4 job...?

RebeccaMumsnet · 17/05/2016 10:43

We've hit our target!

Thank you all so much - the blisters and aches are slowly fading and we're all feeling pretty proud that we did it.

Hi folks,

We just wanted to update you as we received a letter from Walk the Walk letting us know that their total fundraising has reached over £7.2 million

HQ's final contribution was £5,298.13 - so a huge thanks again to everyone who donated and supported us in the wee hours. And of course, a big shoutout to all the MNetters who took part as well Thanks Thanks

See you next year, yeah? Wink
