Cancer Research Shine Night Walk

Led by Carina McKinney, an Associate in the Glasgow office, DSSR is hosting a 10k night time walk fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. She is leading a group of colleagues to raise as much as possible to help beat cancer by taking part in the Shine Night Walk Glasgow 2024.

The Shine Night Walk is an illuminating night-time event where walkers pass through their city’s famous landmarks as part of a 10k walk. Organised by Cancer Research UK, several similar events take place in cities across the UK.

The primary goal is to raise vital funds for life-saving cancer research. The money raised by participants helps fund various research projects aimed at improving cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

These events also play a crucial role in raising awareness about cancer and the importance of research. They bring together people affected by cancer, their loved ones, and supporters to create a sense of community and solidarity in the fight against the disease.

“Well done to everyone; what a great achievement we all managed to navigate the streets of Glasgow on a Saturday night, and all get back in once piece! I hope everyone who took part was not too stiff the next morning and got a deserved lie-in on Sunday. It looks like we have raised over £2,000 including gift aid!”

Fiona Williamson, DSSR Regional Director
