March 6, 2008: Fuller's has announced that the 13th London Pride Walk will take place this year on Sunday, July 13.

The walk, which raises funds for Cancer Research UK at Hammersmith Hospital, involves a circular route along the beautiful Thames Towpath from Fuller’s Griffin Brewery, in Chiswick, West London.

Walkers will be joined by one of Fuller’s dray horses, Griffin, who has walked the course many times before.

The route takes participants over Chiswick and Hammersmith bridges, before returning them to Homefields Park, opposite the Griffin Brewery, for entertainment and refreshments, including a free pint of London Pride for the over-18s. Soft drinks will be available for younger walkers.

Since the first walk in 1996, the event has raised over £1 million towards research into treatments for cancer.

Fuller's sales and personnel director, Richard Fuller, said: "The London Pride Walk for Cancer Research UK has become a big date in the brewery's calendar, as many of our customers and employees like to take part.

"Im so pleased that we managed to break the £1 million barrier last year as Cancer Research UK needs as much funding as it can get to help find better treatments and even a cure."
