Putting your best foot forward!

Thousands of colourful bra-wearing power walkers took over central London last Saturday night to complete the gruelling 26.2 mile Moonwalk Marathon all in the aid of charity. Walk the Walk is a charity not only dedicated to raising money for vital breast cancer causes, but also encouraging men and women to take control of their own wellbeing by becoming fitter and healthier whilst having fun. Which can’t be a bad thing!

Amongst these intrepid moonwalkers was our very own Nicky Cole, from Mad About Book-Keeping – by day she is our financial guru and by night, a power walker extraordinaire. A veteran moonwalker, having completed the same challenge back in 2012, Nicky decided to take part again with her husband Steve and friend Faye. It has to be said that despite the chilly temperatures and the slow midnight start due to the huge numbers taking part, all three looked surprisingly fresh after completing the whole circuit under a very healthy 9 hours. Nicky shared the secret of her staying power – “a very welcome hot chocolate at mile 22 which was the highlight of the night!”

Nicky has not only achieved her target of completing the Moonwalk Marathon, but surpassed her original fundraising target of £200 by hitting £383 – and bringing the group’s fundraising efforts to a very respectable £892. Well done Nicky, Steve and Faye!

If you would like to help Nicky raise more for this worthy cause and help them hit a £1,000 target, it’s not too late to donate, just click here to visit Nicky’s Moonwalk page.

So Nicky…. only 358 more training days until the 2015 Moonwalk Marathon!
