The Tesco Hednesford staff, their children and supporters are on target to raise over £1,000 for Cancer Research after waking nine miles from the Newport Road, Stafford branch to their own.
Employee Jackie Rose organised the event, partly for her sister Tracey, who is being treated for hormonal breast cancer.
Tracey joined Jackie and 21 other walkers on the nine mile hike which took in some nice countryside on a lovely Saturday.
Many of the walkers dressed in Tesco uniform, though Tracey dressed in pink and when all the sponsorship money and donations are in, the target is expected to be reached.
The walk was partly organised by https://walx.co.uk/ who provide assistance for organised groups who are undertaking walks.
Jackie said she was thrilled by the turnout and all walkers were presented with medals and certificates when they returned to the Hednesford store.
She said: "I organised the walk with the help of my colleagues who have been incredibly supportive as has everyone involved including Jon from Walx.
" It's very close to home for us. My sister lost her hair due to her treatment for breast cancer and we have had colleagues who have passed away due to cancer.
"The collection bucket we used was pink and that became a bit of a theme - it was a lovely day weather wise and a nice route and I think all the walkers enjoyed it.
"The money will go to Cancer Research as its work covers all cancers and I would just like to thank everyone who supported us including Tesco and all the employees and colleagues who contributed or walked, making it so special."
