In 1996 the charity’s founder, Nina Barough CBE, had a dream that she was Power Walking the New York City marathon in a bra to raise money for breast cancer.

After receiving the all-clear, Nina and a group of 50 people planned to walk the London Marathon to raise more money.

Over the years The MoonWalk has grown to include thousands of women and men, who gather together in a huge pink tent before setting off on their night-time challenges.

In 2006 the first MoonWalk Scotland was held in Edinburgh - offering a picturesque route through the city and more distances including a back-to-back double marathon of 52.4 miles ("Over The Moon") and a 6.55 mile walk largely aimed at children (the "New Moon").
