Dawn Walk
2008 Dawn Walk
The Rotary Club of Goole organised a Dawn Walk on Sunday 14th September, they had 100 walkers and raised over £6,000..
The Dawn Walk is a 10km walk that starts at dawn. Maureen Dixon organised the first Brighton Dawn Walk in September 2005, in memory of her husband who died of prostate cancer.
Maureen says: "After Mike's diagnosis I wanted to do something to help other men affected by the disease and to honour his memory. The Dawn Walk is a great way for me to help raise awareness and much needed funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity. It is my hope that in a few years walks will be taking place across the country and thousands will be walking for The Prostate Cancer Charity in September."
Inspired to walk – you could take part in the
