Hear from the Walk of Light community
"My youngest Gracie was six when we lost nana and talks about her every day. She wanted to make the bridge shine as bright as nana. It feels really meaningful to continue organising a walk in her memory."
“If you’re thinking of signing up to Walk of Light just do it, you’ll be raising money for a wonderful charity that you or a loved one may need help from.”
