The 2019 Pink Ladies Sunset Walk has raised £60,000 for charity - which is £12,000 more than the previous time the event was held.
The bi-annual event, held earlier this summer, saw around two thousand women and girls walk from Grandes Rocques to Town, or a shorter route from Bordeaux.
The funds from this year's walk will be used for the ongoing support of early breast cancer diagnosis through the Pink Ladies’ partnership with the Department for Health & Social Care. The charity works with the team to identify ways they can assist in the purchase of specialised equipment.
Karen Leach from the Pink Ladies, said; "we are incredibly grateful for the support our community shows for people affected by breast cancer through participation in the biannual Pink Ladies Sunset Coastal Walk. We'd also like to thank our sponsor TPA for helping us achieve such fantastic numbers this year and look forward to seeing our island coast pink in 2021!"
Tony Tostevin, TPA CEO, said; "we have thoroughly enjoyed working on this year's Pink Ladies Sunset Walk and are so pleased with the amazing numbers raised. The Pink Ladies are an important local charity and we're proud to support where we can - we look forward to 2021."
In addition to raising awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection, The Pink Ladies offer emotional, practical and financial support for women in Guernsey with breast cancer. For more information, visit www.pinkladies.org.gg.
The 2021 walk is planned for Saturday 26 June,
