It was the ‘Shine Manchester’ midnight walking marathon on Saturday night / Sunday morning. Over 7500 people walked the streets of Manchester raising money for cancer research. A friend from work and I were volunteer marshals on the night based at the Old Trafford pit stop.
The start and finish lines were at Manchester Central (formerly G-Mex) and live music from Blake kept everyone entertained whilst waiting for the walk to begin. It was a fantastic night and everyone had a great time. Some of the walkers were in fancy dress and others had the names of loved ones suffering with or lost to cancer stitched to their clothes.
The organisers hope the event will raise £1m for cancer research. You can still support cancer research by visiting the cancer research website:
