Sarah Gottesman, Volunteer Manager at Penny Brohn UK, said: “A huge thank you to Bakers Dolphin for providing our wonderful MoonWalk volunteers with free travel and for looking after us so well.

“The drivers went above and beyond and were brilliant.

“It was a fantastic event with a fun and friendly atmosphere.

“Volunteering at MoonWalk is a great way for us to say thank you to Walk the Walk for their incredible support, and hearing so many personal stories is really inspiring.”

Amanda Harrington, Sales and Marketing Director of Bakers Dolphin, said: “It was a pleasure to take the Penny Brohn UK team to London to support such a worthwhile event which raises money to provide vital support for breast cancer causes all over the country.

“Bakers Dolphin supports many charities and fundraising events all year round, and we’re proud to play our part in support of the wonderful work they all do.”
