Synopsis

Grown women, aching feet and heaving bosoms!

Follow the Cheshire Cats team as they speedwalk their way to fundraising success in the London Moonwalk.

Hilary, Siobhan, Yvonne, Vicky and Maggie are attempting to walk 13 miles across the capital in record time in their decorated bras and posh new trainers, but the 6th member of the team doesn't seem to meet the physical criteria!

Cheshire Cats is a cross between a girls night out and a real mission to support a cause close to many hearts, with plenty of laughs and a few tears along the way.
