Walk 100 Miles: Celebrating Achievement with Sustainable Medals

The Walk 100 Miles charity event, organised by Ovarian Cancer Action, invites participants to walk 100 miles in October to support ovarian cancer research. To commemorate this meaningful journey, Zero Waste Medals crafted a custom engraved double layer wooden medal that not only recognises participants' achievements but also aligns with modern sustainability values.

This medal serves as a tangible reminder of the walkers' dedication and the positive impact of their efforts in raising funds for vital research.

About the Event

Walk 100 Miles is a charity event by Ovarian Cancer Action, aiming to raise funds for ovarian cancer research and the development of the world’s first preventative vaccine. Participants walk 100 miles at their own pace throughout October, joining a nationwide effort to support this crucial cause.

The event coincides with breast cancer awareness month, providing a platform for walkers to contribute meaningfully to cancer research while promoting personal fitness.

Why Medals Matter

Medals offer more than just a physical token; they provide emotional and psychological value to participants. The Walk 100 Miles medal encapsulates the spirit of the event, serving as a cherished reminder of the achievement.

Medal Design Details

The Walk 100 Miles medal is crafted from natural wood, shaped into a round form. The design features detailed engravings of the event's logo and text, complemented by a modern aesthetic. The turquoise ribbon, made from recycled polyester, aligns with the event’s branding and sustainability ethos.

Each design element symbolises the dedication of participants and the importance of their contributions to ovarian cancer research.
