Fun Family Walk for Cancer Awareness Returns to Madeira
Madeira is more than breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable holidays—it's a community that comes together when it matters most. This July, locals and visitors alike are invited to support an inspiring cause by taking part in the The Shuffling Walking Team's Fun Family Walk for Cancer Awareness.
Walk With the Whole Family
Whether you're visiting Madeira or call the island home, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an evening walk while making a real difference to families affected by cancer.
Everything You Need to Know
📅 Date: Sunday, 26 July 2026
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM
📍 Route: Lido to Ponta Gorda and back
The walk is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, making it the perfect activity for families, friends, and visitors who want to experience Madeira's beautiful seafront promenade while supporting an important cause.
Conquering Cancer One Step at a Time
The event, which started in South Africa in 2012, is organised by The Shuffling Walking Team, whose mission is to help conquer cancer one step at a time.
The €10 entry fee includes:
- Automatic entry into the charity raffle
- The opportunity to support the local cancer community
- A memorable evening alongside hundreds of supporters
Payments can be made by cash or MB Way. All funds raised will support The Shuffling Walking Team Community Cancer Fund, helping families in Madeira facing cancer.
Wear Pink and Show Your Support
Participants are encouraged to wear pink to raise awareness and show solidarity with everyone affected by cancer. Together, a sea of pink along Madeira's coastline will send a powerful message of hope and community.
A Beautiful Walk Along Madeira's Coast
The Lido promenade is one of Funchal's most scenic waterfront walks, offering spectacular ocean views and a relaxed atmosphere. Walking from Lido to Ponta Gorda at sunset makes this charity event even more special.
It's a fantastic way to spend an evening while supporting an important local initiative.
