MoonWalk Scotland saw thousands marching through the city in themed bras
THOUSANDS of bra-wearing fundraisers hit the streets of Edinburgh on Saturday night for the annual MoonWalk through the city.
Walk the Walk, who organise the event, said the £430,000 raised from this weekend’s marathon walkathon brings the fundraising total for the last 12 years of MoonWalk Scotland to a phenomenal £20 million.
The jungle safari theme saw thousands of women and men donning jungle-safari themed decorated bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer whilst completing their walking challenges.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
