The Breast Foot Forward Walk sponsored by SuperValu is back on Friday 5th June 2026!
Online registration has now closed, you can still register at the event at Belfast City Hall on Friday 5th June from 6pm, Thank You
Registration is just £15 per adult & £7 per child. This gets you an AC Branded Event T-shirt, Bag for Life filled with freebies from SuperValu suppliers and a medal for completing the walk on the night, as well as much, much more on the night!
This fun filled event promises to be a night to remember, bring the family, bring your friends, even bring the dog! This is a great chance to grab your BFF’s for a good old chin wag while stepping your way to the finish line, taking in the wonderful sights Belfast City Centre has to offer and raising much needed funds for Action Cancer’s life-saving breast screening service & cancer support services along the way!
You can choose to walk 5km or 10km along the City Centre Route, whatever suits you best! Both routes are well supported with motivation stations and Volunteers are on hand to keep you going! Hundreds of participants will transform the streets of Belfast into a sea of pink, a powerful sight of how amazing our supporters are!
Starting and ending at Belfast City Hall, there will also be a fun warm up, free goodies and music provided by U105!
So spread the word among your BFF‘s and help us to raise stacks of cash for Action Cancer’s life-saving breast screening service.
All participants will receive a free T shirt, drawstring bag, filled with goodies, courtesy of our amazing Sponsor Supervalu & their suppliers and a fundraising pack, with lots of support on how you can raise as much as possible for our unique breast screening services!
By taking part in this amazing event, you will help us to save more lives, lives like Bronagh’s! Bronagh is 42 and lives just outside Downpatrick with her husband & 3 children, Cara 14, Ruairi 11 & Eva-Rose 6. Bronagh had her breast cancer detected by Action Cancer in 2024 at the age of just 40 through a routine mammogram.

If everyone taking part could raise the cost of a screening £120 think of the lives we could save! Last year’s walk raised over £80,000 which provided 716 local women with a potentially life-saving breast screening appointment! Let’s come together and raise as much as possible for this life-saving service!

BRCA Conference of 2026: Escape to THRIVE
2026-05-14 10:00 - 16:00 | Ivanhoe Hotel, 556 Saintfield Road, Belfast, BT8 8EU, United Kingdom
BRCA Conference: Escape to THRIVE
14 May 2026 (10am – 4pm), Ivanhoe hotel, Carryduff
A conference to bring together survivors, previvors, caregivers, families, friends and medical professionals for meaningful connection blending interactive sessions to empower Higher Risk families.
How we can ESCAPE to THRIVE and become empowered? Empowerment does not come from having all the answers. It comes from connection, self‑awareness and taking each step with guidance and research based intervention. As previvors and survivors we live with significantly increased genetic risk of cancer. We still are navigating constant decisions, vigilance and uncertainty—an experience that is often largely invisible to those around us.
Throughout the day you will hear various talks by consultants and health professionals along with the ‘ask the experts’ question and answer session.
