A PLYMOUTH woman has urged people to take part in a charity walk in Iceland to raise money for cancer - saying that it was "the best thing I've ever done". Suzy Bennett from Plymouth took part in the charity challenge earlier this year when cancer became a personal issue for her.
Now the MoonWalk Iceland 2025 has officially launched, with limited spaces, and will take place on Saturday, May 31. The unique experience invites participants to walk a 26.2 mile marathon through Iceland's breathtaking landscapes, raising essential funds for those affected by breast and other cancers.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Myvatn, the marathon route showcases Iceland's rich wildlife, striking volcanic scenery and ancient lava formations. After crossing the finish line, walkers can unwind in the soothing, mineralrich waters of Iceland's Nature Baths - perfect for post-marathon rejuvenation.
In addition to the marathon, the six-day adventure includes a host of guided excursions. Highlights include the famed Blue Lagoon, whale-watching, hiking a volcano, exploring Reykjavik, and visiting Dettifoss the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
