Walkers in 2009 Hampstead Heath to
host Generations Walk All generations of men, women and children are encouraged to wear their pinkest outfits on Sunday 12 June and walk 5k across Hampstead Heath, London at the 13th Generations Walk. Event organiser, Cheryl Stakol, said: “I’m thrilled that we have so many fantastic supporters who come along to the walk and help Campaign continue funding vital research. Having had breast cancer, I know how much this disease affects women and their loved ones, so it’s important we keep working together to help find a cure.” All funds raised will help support a project
by Dr Jeremy Blaydes at the University of Southampton, who is currently investigating why chemotherapy stops working for 40 per cent of patients. His research could ultimately improve the chances of survival for many more people with breast cancer. The walk starts at 11am and is £10 for
adults, £5 for under 12s. Each participant receives a Generations Walk t-shirt, medal and free picnic lunch at Kenwood House.
