Doing the Moonwalk for fun and money

Jun 20 2005

In a major effort to raise awareness as well as cash for research, thousands of women wearing elaborately decorated bras walked a marathon-length route through the night in UK capital, London.

The annual Moonwalk began late on Saturday in Hyde Park, central London and arrived back from about 0600 BST on the following morning.

Celebrities, TV presenter Lorraine Kelly and model Nell McAndrew were among those on the Playtex Moonwalk.

The now annual event began in 1998 and was founded by Nina Barough who has herself suffered from breast cancer.

Ms Kelly says that breast cancer is something that touches so many as everyone has a relative or a close friend who has had it.

The event which aims to raise as much cash as possible while having fun at the same time, is according to Kelly ' fantastic'.
