Everyone that takes part is making a small difference in the fight against cancer… an hour long walk on a Saturday morning is really good fun and a part of something bigger, each walker is making a small difference in the fight against cancer. Look out for these Pick’n Pay Walks in your area… Take part… really we enjoyed them and we think you will too!!!

  1. I love these walks and I do my fair share of them. You should check out the Av.on I.themba one also in support of a similar course. I wonder if it is held in CT.

    And you have the added bonus of gorgeous views

  2. Oh Mrs FF… I hadn’t thought of that, I definitely need to look for more walks like these, just as we were getting the hang of them they have moved across the country… but something must be going on in this fair city!!!

  3. This sounds like a wonderful series of events to get involved with. It must make the most amazing statement seeing everyone walking en masse. The pink makes quite a statement. Hope you got your hair sprayed too.
