Our Moonwalk is breast way to raise charity cash
Charlotte, Colleen and Elizabeth are raring to go
Charlotte, Colleen and Elizabeth are raring to go

Three women have found the perfect way to combine getting fit and raising money.

Elizabeth Thacker, 32, her mum Colleen, 58, and Charlotte Belton, 20, are all taking part in this weekend's Moonwalk.

The event will see 15,000 women covering either a half marathon or marathon across London by moonlight.

The trio, from Rochford, who have dubbed themselves the Walkie Talkies, will walk the full 26-mile course.

Training has meant the weight has dropped off and they're now hoping to pile up the pounds - raising sponsorship for breast cancer charities.

Elizabeth, a HGV driver, said: "We're not bothered about how long it takes us, just as long as we finish."
