The Heel Appeal is both a remembrance and a challenge event, taking the saying to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” literally.

Whilst we’re asking you to find the wackiest shoes to wear, to make the walk more of a challenge, we are also asking you to show your support and dedicate your walk to a loved one. To register fill out the form below!

Please note – we ask all participants to raise a minimum of £30

Team work

The Heel Appeal is a fun event and we want you to get really involved. Why not pull together a team of friends, family or colleagues to take part in the walk? Go all out with matching footwear and team name!

The Route

At 1.5 miles this walk would take roughly 30 minutes in normal shoes - so expect it to take a little longer if you've braved wearing flippers or heels!

You can now host a Heel Appeal Day in your school or workplace! Pick any day that suits you to host a Heel Appeal Day in which pupils or work colleagues bring a £1 to donate to Cancer Support Scotland and wear the wackiest shoes they own!

Who you are helping

£25.26 will pay for someone living with cancer to have a counselling appointment where they can share their fears in a safe and confidential environment.

£45.72 will pay for one much needed relaxing complementary therapy for someone who just needs to escape their stresses and anxieties for a while.

£260.22 improves mobility and decreases discomfort and pain for someone affected by cancer, by providing a course of 6 sessions with a specially trained podiatrist.
