Millcroft Care Home, part of HC-One, in Redditch, Worcestershire, is proud to announce its upcoming Breast Cancer Now Walk challenge, running throughout October 2025 which marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Millcroft Care Home wanted to do something meaningful to support those affected by the illness. The team has chosen to raise funds for Breast Cancer Now, a charity that provides vital research, support, and resources for people living with breast cancer. For many of Millcroft’s residents, colleagues, and their families, the cause is close to the heart, and the walk offers an opportunity to come together as a community to raise awareness, honour loved ones and contribute towards life-changing research and care.
From Wednesday 1st October until Friday 31st October, Millcroft’s management team will be stepping up in support of Breast Cancer Now, with the goal of walking the combined total of 650 miles throughout the month of all the places residents at Millcroft once called home.
Each day, steps will be tracked and added together, building towards the home’s target distance. This creative initiative is not only raising vital funds but also celebrating the life stories of residents by connecting their past homes with the present.
The team has set a fundraising target of £500, with donations being collected via their official JustGiving page:
