May marks the start of a month-long campaign and it is a great way to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, but it also gives us a chance to look back on the times we joined in with sponsored walks of all kinds.

Were you pictured walking on fire at Mayfield Park or going on a walk with giant Teddy Bears in Peterlee?

We have all this and more as we turn back the clock.

Did you take part in the fire walk at Mayfield Park in 2004?
