EDINBURGH 14 June 2008. City to turn pink to support midnight MoonWalk

Some 12,000 MoonWalkers will participate in a midnight Power Walking Challenge to raise funds for breast cancer, with the marathon and half marathon 26.2-mile route lit up in pink in a show of support for the fundraiser.

The Royal Yacht Britannia will blaze pink – the colour of the charity – across Leith, while the Balmoral Hotel's clocktower will light up the east end of Princes Street. Some of the buildings will be coating their floodlights with pink gel to change colour for the night. Others are buying pink fluorescent bulbs especially for the occasion, while some will project the charity's logo – in pink – on façades.

Yet others will have window displays of the charity's trademark pink bras.

The Moonwalk is now an annual event. Apr/08
