Last year, 200 people from the Antrim and Ballymena areas took part in the event from which all money raised will support Action Cancer’s unique breast screening service, the only one of its kind in Northern Ireland.

Now in its sixth year, the SuperValu MoonLight Walk will take place on Friday, June 20, at 9pm departing from Custom House Square Belfast, going around the City Centre up Malone Road and then back again.

All participants are encouraged to dress in pink – with crazy 80’s being the main theme this year – to help raise awareness of the importance of breast screening and early detection. Men and women, young and old are all encouraged to get involved in this fun filled event in memory or support of a loved one with cancer.

Prizes are given out on the night for the best dressed individuals and teams so it’s definitely worth putting some thought into those 80’s outfits and decorated bras!

The event kicks off at 7.30pm with a real party atmosphere with fun music from Cool FM and a warm up from the infamous Fitness Freddy before setting off on the walk at 9pm.

Registration for the Moonlight Walk is £20 and Action Cancer is encouraging participants to raise a minimum amount of £80 - the average cost of one mammogram to the charity.
