There are only two days left to register to take part in a charity walk for breast cancer at Blenheim Palace.

Breast Cancer Now's Pink Ribbon Walk will take place on Saturday, May 11, in Woodstock and will offer participants a choice of a 10 or 20 mile walk to raise funds for breast cancer research and support.

These walks, which first took place in 2005, have raised more than £15 million and are one of Breast Cancer Now's most popular fundraising events.

Registration is open online via the Breast Cancer Now website until 11.59pm on Sunday, May 5.

Walkers can sign up at 8am on the day for the 20-mile walk, or at 10.30am for the 10-mile walk.

Head of events at Breast Cancer Now, Kate Rham, said: "Our amazing Pink Ribbon Walks give walkers the opportunity to explore beautiful locations across the country and to help provide vital support to those diagnosed and living with breast cancer.

"With your walking boots and friends and family in tow, you can make the difference to the lives of those impacted by the disease."

She added: "One in seven women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

"By taking part in a Pink Ribbon Walk, you’re helping to fund our pioneering research and specialist support for people affected by this devastating disease.

"This is a chance to come together with friends, family or to walk solo, for an enjoyable day while making a real difference to anyone affected by breast cancer. "

Walkers will be supported all the way with a clearly marked route, expert guides and regular rest stops with snacks.

Among them will be Michelle Williams, a karate instructor from Bicester who, after recently enduring her own battle with breast cancer, will be walking in remembrance of her mother who succumbed to the disease three decades ago.

She said: "I was lucky because mine was found quickly.

"My mum’s breast cancer was diagnosed late, and it had already spread.

“I’ve had a lot of support and my friends and family have been amazing. There will be a big tribe of us walking at the Pink Ribbon Walk together."

Each year, around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK, with this number continually trending upwards.

It is estimated that 600,000 people are currently living with a diagnosis of breast cancer, and this figure is anticipated to double by 2030.

Participants will have the chance to write messages to those affected by breast cancer and attach them to a pink ribbon along the route.
