Take a walk for breast cancer on Saturday October 5

There’s still time to register for the Estee Lauder Companies Pink Star Walk, a twilight walk in Auckland Domain on Saturday October 5 to raise funds for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. All money raised from the walk will help fund breast cancer research, including research into new treatment for aggressive breast cancers at Auckland University, and the Auckland breast cancer patient register.

Entertainment on the night starts at 7pm, before the walk kicks off at 7:30pm. There are five and 10 kilometre variations, with the 10-kilometre walk heading through Parnell and taking in a stretch of Tamaki Drive before returning to the Domain.

“The walk is a great chance to get a bunch of friends together, enjoy some entertainment beforehand, then walk – or stroll, or power-walk – beneath the stars,” says NZBCF chief executive Van Henderson.

The walk is suited to women, men and children of all ages and fitness levels – wearing pink is encouraged but not compulsory!

Walkers have the option to set up an online fundraising page and will receive fundraising tips from the NZBCF.

Entry costs $25 online before the event and $30 on the night. Children under 16 are $10 in advance or $15 on the night. To register or for more information, visit www.pinkstarwalk.co.nz
