Walk to Remember is Marie Curie’s series of 10k fundraising walks. They take place in the evening, between July and September each year, and are held in a variety of location across the UK. Locations include parks, country houses and National Trust sites. Participants fundraise before and after the event, raising money to help Marie Curie provide free care and support for people living with a terminal illness and their families. It is also an in memory event, where walkers remember loved ones. ==History== Walk to Remember was first launched as Walk Ten in 2010. That year 12 walks were held, with 3,312 walkers taking part. Over £300,000 was raised. The following year, 2011, Walk Ten grew to include 17 locations. For 2012, 25 events were held, doubling the money raised in 2010, and attracting 11,114 walkers, almost four times the amount from the opening year. For 2015, Walk Ten became Walk to Remember. The name change was in response to an increasing number of walkers choosing to remember a loved one as they took part. 17 events will be held in 2015, and the aim is to attract 13,000 walkers (more than 2014 and the highest amount in one year to date) and raise over £1.1 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walk to Remember」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
