More than 370 people walked two 10.5-mile routes in Aberystwyth and Ironbridge in October, raising over £45,000 for Lingen Davies Cancer Support.

Over 370 people walked two 10.5-mile routes organised by Lingen Davies Cancer Support in early October, raising over £45,000 for regional cancer services. One route took place in Aberystwyth on 10 October, with a second route based in Ironbridge on 11 October, which was a new location for the event.

The Titty Trail was designed to raise awareness of breast cancer signs and symptoms while boosting funds for local cancer services. The name is intended to spark discussion about the condition in both men and women. This was the charity's fourth annual Titty Trail event.

Emilie Kerr, Events and Marketing Lead for Lingen Davies, said the October walk was 'our best yet – more participants, more awareness, and more fun than ever before'. The Ironbridge route took participants over the Iron Bridge and through woodland in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The charity is using the funds raised towards a £5 million Sunflower Appeal to develop a Lingen Davies Cancer Centre at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital by 2029.
