News Kerry’s MoonWalk
Pitchcare editor to undertake night-time charity walk around the London Marathon course in aid of breast cancer research
Our very own Editor, Kerry Haywood, along with a team of friends, has grasped the opportunity to do something to raise money and awareness for breast cancer.
The MoonWalk is a total of 26.2 miles and covers the same route as the London Marathon. As its name suggests, the walk takes place throughout the night, with approximately 15,000 men and women taking to the street for the midnight start; and here’s the best bit … the trademark of the challenge is to wear just a bra.
The theme this year is ‘Carnival’ and participants are encouraged to decorate their bras in bright colours with flamboyant
decoration such as feathers, beads etc.
The Walk the Walk challenge came into being nineteen years ago, when just thirteen women Power Walked the New York City Marathon in their bras. What started out as a one-off fundraising event, has blossomed into a thriving multi-million pound charity, raising, to date, in excess of £99 million for vital breast cancer causes.
Kerry and co. have started their training, which has not been easy in the cold and frosty mornings and/or late evenings, but they can be seen here donning hats and smiles.
If you would like to sponsor the ladies, please visit

TGA speakers announced
Spring Conference line-up confirmed
The Turfgrass Growers Association will be gathering near Peterborough on 10th March for their spring conference.
Paul Bogle from National Federation of Builders will give a presentation to turf growers on perceptions of turf from the building industry and what the future holds for house building in the UK.
Delegates will also hear from DHL Transport on logistics in the turf industry. TGA matters will also be covered as part of the day.
TGA Chief Executive Tim Mudge said, “We are always looking to invite speakers who will give us a different view of our industry, as well as informing us about their own. We know that TGA members find these events invaluable both in terms of content and also the ability to talk with other producers about issues surrounding turf growing. This year, we would like to invite any non- members who would like to be involved to come as our guests.”
