This year, over 1,000 people living in Greater Glasgow will receive the devastating news that they have breast cancer, but with peoples help the charity can continue to offer them vital care, support and information, every day, from day one.
Emma Claridge, Pink Ribbonwalk manager for Breast Cancer Care, says: “We’re really excited to introduce our first ever Glasgow at Night Pink Ribbonwalk in June. We can’t wait to catch up with some familiar faces that took part in the Scone Palace walk last year and welcome the new walkers joining us in Glasgow this year; it will be so much more than just a night out.

You will also be given a medal and t-shirt as a souvenir of the walk. And best of all, you will make a real difference for everyone affected by breast cancer.”
The shorter route is open to families so it’s a day out the whole family can enjoy together.
