Last year over 600 supporters joined us as we walked physically apart but virtually together across the country, raising more than £168,000 to fund pioneering research and stamp out pancreatic cancer.
This year we will be taking on The Big Step Forward virtually, again. We would love for you to join us!
Whatever the distance, every step you take will support world-leading researchers to speed up diagnosis and improve treatments. Together we can transform the future for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer.
Just remember wherever you are walking, to ensure you follow the most up to date Government guidelines regarding Covid-19 and social distancing for the local area, and only take part if you feel able to.
Whether you, a friend or family member are affected by the disease now, or you’re remembering someone you’ve lost, we can stand together to save lives.
Gather your friends and family to all sign up. You don’t have to be physically in the same place, to walk together.
We suggest that everyone walks 1 or 4 miles, but you can choose whatever distance you want.
Choose a walking route which is special to you and that you can easily get to on the day.
Just remember wherever you are walking, to ensure you follow the most up to date Government guidelines regarding Covid-19 and social distancing for the local area, and only take part if you feel able to. Check your nation's guidelines here. England; Northern Ireland; Scotland; Wales; Jersey.
We're here to support you with your fundraising from the moment you sign up; providing all the tips and tools you'll need.
Join us live in the Facebook group throughout the day on 17th July, as we bring you entertainment and plenty of cheering support!
No doubt you'll want to take a moment of reflection during your walk, but afterwards why not celebrate finishing the walk with a post-event picnic or pub lunch!
