The Prince of Wales has accepted an invitation to become the patron of Walk the 
Walk.

Walk the Walk was established in 1997 by Nina Barough and has since raised over
£15 million for breast cancer research and holistic cancer care. The charity has
become famous for its many thousands of supporters wearing decorated bras as they
power walk their way round marathons all over the world.

The Prince first met Nina in 2001, when she and a team from Walk the Walk, dressed
in decorated bras, power walked through the Gloucester countryside to Highgrove 
where they enjoyed tea in the garden with The Prince.
