We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the Twilight Walk 2024 to support those affected by breast cancer in Dorset.

Families, friends, NHS colleagues and even some furry friends gathered at Bournemouth Pier Approach on Friday 25 May 2024, to raise funds for those receiving treatment from the University Hospitals Dorset’s breast cancer team.

It was a truly special evening as we celebrated the lives of loved ones who have faced breast cancer and the amazing NHS staff who are there for our local communities.

The total amount raised will be announced in the next 6-weeks. Every penny raised will support the breast health team at University Hospitals Dorset, improve the patient experience and help us acquire vital equipment to enhance care at our hospitals.

In the meantime, you can relive the magic of Twilight Walk 2024 by looking through these heartwarming photos. You can see more of the fantastic people who shone brightly for our community by following University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity on Instagram and Facebook.

A special thanks also goes out to Charles Thorne Photography, First Response Training and Express Security for donating services and supporting the walkers at the event.

We would also like to thank the amazing warm-up leader Emma Darling, our lovely volunteers and Oak Services for transporting event equipment. A big shout-out to our friends at Hot Radio for keeping the energy up all evening long.
