Hundreds light up Edinburgh streets for MoonWalk Scotland

HUNDREDS of Scots wearing brightly coloured bras and “bra t-shirts” took part in The MoonWalk Scotland to raise vital funds cancer treatment.

The nighttime event in Edinburgh set off from Holyrood Park at 11pm on Saturday with participants walking a half or full marathon through the capital to raise money for charity Walk The Walk.

Glittering light installations showed MoonWalkers the way, with iconic buildings across the Edinburgh skyline also lit up pink in their honour including Camera Obscura, the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Lloyds on the Mound, the Radisson Blu Hotel and the Stamp Office.

Dozens of walkers also took on a walking challenge virtually in their own areas.

Scotland’s MoonWalk has raised £22 million since the event was first staged in 2006.

Funds awarded by Walk the Walk make a huge difference to people across Scotland living with cancer. Recent grants have been made to the Beatson Cancer Charity, Ayrshire Cancer Support and Make 2nds Count.
