Walk the Walk is a charity committed to raising money and awareness for breast cancer research and cancer care. They are also passionate about encouraging women and men to become healthier, fitter, and to take charge of their own well being.

One of their fundraisers is called the MoonWalk. It's taking place on June 16, 2007, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not only are the men and women power walking throughout the entire night, they are doing it wearing decorated bras to raise awareness for breast cancer.

You can go to their website to register.

Fit's Tips: If you won't be in Scotland for the MoonWalk, you can still help raise money for breast cancer. Host your own fundraiser event and donate all the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Fund.

What Not to Keep in Your Wallet

SavvySugar — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:15:00 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

We love the motto “be prepared.”

But when it comes to the average American’s wallet, there’s such a thing as over-prepared. From the looks of our bulging billfolds, we must be heading out each day to open a new line of credit, fill out a W-2, shop at several department stores, use a few gift cards, return an item or two, and grab a fro-yo at our favorite punch card spot on the way home.

1,000 wallets and purses are stolen every two minutes in America (44% of LearnVest readers have had their wallets lost or stolen once, while 8% have had theirs stolen twice or more). While it’s smart to be concerned with online security (check out our article on creating the perfect password here), 76% of identity thefts result from the theft of something physical, like a wallet. Additionally, it costs an average of $8,000 to recover from identity theft.

Most police who receive reports of stolen wallets lament the same thing: people carry way too much stuff in their wallets, handing their entire lives over to identity thieves.

So before you leave the house, read our list of what NOT to keep in your wallet, so you can pare down to just the essentials - and protect your finances and identity.

Social Security Card

This is the number one thing to NOT keep in your wallet. If a thief gets ahold of your Social Security card, he can open credit cards, take out loans or even buy a car - it makes you very vulnerable to identity theft. There is no need to carry this around as an extra form of ID, and even the U.S. government's website recommends leaving your card at home in a safe place. Your Social Security number is only nine digits - just memorize it.

(Learn how to safely store your important information; read this.)

Sexy Brad Pitt Gets Behind the Wheel For World War Z

Lauren Turner — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:05:00 PDT

Brad Pitt looked hot during a scene on the set of World War Z in Edinburgh yesterday. He drove a beat-up truck on his latest day of filming in Scotland after production moved to the country last week. Brad's been seen sipping wine in between takes and he also relaxed with a glass during a fishing outing with his kids. The youngest Jolie-Pitts continued the fun over the weekend when they played sword-fighting games outside of the Carnell Estate, though Maddox and Pax missed the excitement. The boys traveled to Croatia with Angelina Jolie, and the threesome caught a performance of Shakespeare's King Lear during their stay. Angelina also met with President President Ivo Josipovic, though she's apparently since returned to the UK.

Allie Merriam — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:51:02 PDT

Prince William and his wife, Catherine, went for a hand-in-hand walk around Holyrood Park yesterday morning in Edinburgh. They stuck around the queen's official Scottish residence for a few days after attending Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's wedding reception there on Saturday night. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were decked out in similar outfits for the stroll, both in purple cable-knit sweaters with their collars peeking out. We even had a rare glimpse at the prince in his glasses! Kate and William were soon headed back to their home in Wales. Kate was seen later in the afternoon out at her local Tesco, taking care of the grocery run while Prince William prepped for a return to work with the Royal Air Force.

Zara Phillips Debuts Her Designs and Talks About Her Royal Wedding

Allie Merriam — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:09:37 PDT

Zara Phillips was back to work yesterday, showing off the children's equestrian clothes she's designed under the label ZP 176 Kids. She joined two youngsters in the town of Upper Slaughter, England, to debut the designs and speak about her new life as a married woman! Zara married Mike Tindall Saturday in Edinburgh, Scotland, surrounded by her royal relatives and his family. Mike was also back to work this week, joining his teammates on the English rugby team for a training session Monday and putting on his white jersey yesterday for a press event in the town of Bagshot. Zara spoke about their ceremony during her conference yesterday, touching on rumors her cousin Prince William did karaoke at the reception, whether she'll take Mike's name, and how the day went as a whole. Zara said:

On her wedding day: "The day was amazing and to have all of your friends there in one place, for both of us, was the best part of it . . . Unfortunately both of us do have quite busy lives so it's going to have to wait a bit for a honeymoon, but it is quite nice to go back to work as well. We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep. It's back to work and that's what we do."
On Prince William doing karaoke: "There was no karaoke. I think there was assistance with the band, but that was about it."
On taking Mike's last name: "I'm very much Mrs. Tindall and will be privately and I'm sure publicly as well, but just for professional and sponsors I'm going to keep Phillips as well - I'll keep both of them!"

Zara Phillips had a huge smile on her face yesterday when she left Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk with her new husband, Mike Tindall. The couple was surrounded by friends and family on their big day, including her royal relatives Prince William and Kate Middleton. Mike and Zara were off for their reception with 300 friends and family members. She's among the first of the queen's relations to decide to keep her last name - Zara will continue to use Phillips because of the success she's achieved as an equestrian. There's no immediate honeymoon planned for Mike and Zara either, as he's due to be back with his rugby squad tomorrow.

Zara Phillips's family assembled outside of Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk yesterday following her wedding to Mike Tindall. Her grandmother Queen Elizabeth and grandfather Prince Philip headed out to their cars along with Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles. Prince Harry made a dapper appearance in his suit, as did Prince William alongside his wife, Kate. The royals were off for Mike and Zara's reception at the queen's official Scottish residence. Mike and Zara's nuptials were the second high-profile wedding of the year, following William and Kate's on April 29. For this ceremony, Kate broke out another familiar outfit. Kate wore the same embroidered dress she sported to William's stepsister Laura Parker-Bowles's wedding in 2006.
