Kevin Adams, 34, was joined by actor Christopher Biggins and 13 other men, all in high heels, for the event in Regent's Park in central London.

The walk was intended to encourage women to take part in one of the 5km Race For Life events around the country this year.

The women-only events, which are in their 16th year, raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Adams said: "Jade's passing has affected so many people and, with so much needing to be done to beat cancer, Race For Life is a great way for all women to get involved and raise money to support the important work of Cancer Research UK.

"Although a group of men strapping on a pair of high heels is unconventional, it's a way of getting across a serious message in a funny way, and it's something Jade would have had a good giggle about.

"Any woman can take part. It's only 5k - you can walk, crawl or even get someone to carry you. The important thing is to take part.

"I think anyone who has suffered a great loss or cared for someone with a life-threatening illness can empathise with this cause."

Biggins, 60, said he had been inspired to take part by the recent loss of two friends. He said: "I've recently lost two girlfriends to cancer and my father is being treated for bowel cancer so I know how important it is."
