On
Saturday 25 October 2008 the streets of Sydney will be awash in a sea of pink as the Dove Pink Star Walk returns for its third year. Come and join the fun as thousands of people stroll the streets of Sydney dressed up in pink shirts, hats, accessories and anything else they can find.
This fun 5km stroll through the CBD is held each year in aid of
the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), with proceeds helping to fund research for the prevention and cure of breast cancer. It is also an
acknowledgement of the 2,500 women that die of Breast Cancer each year in Australia.
The Dove Pink Star Walk will kick off at
8.15pm in the Parade Ground within the Royal Botanic Gardens, and will follow a beautiful scenic route, under the stars, past the Opera House and Circular Quay, finishing up at dazzling Darling Harbour.
Open to men, women, and children of all ages and fitness levels, everyone is welcome to participate. Or for those who can't make it, they can sponsor a participant walking in the event.
Get into the breast cancer theme by
wearing something pink on the night, such as a t-shirt, hat or even a pink decorated bra. There will be
prizes awarded on the night for the best costumes and for those adopting the pink spirit the most, plus entertainment throughout the evening to cheer everyone on until the last person crosses the finish line!
