'Humbled and overwhelmed,' the family of beautiful hairdresser, Hollie Gazzard, walked alongside 700 others in her memory.
The charity walk from Gloucester to Cheltenham paid tribute to the popular and vibrant 20-year-old from Churchdown.
Pretty Hollie was killed as she worked at Fringe Benefit and La Bella Beauty salon in Eastgate Street in February.
The walk was the first major fundraiser for a charity set up in her name.
Dad Nick Gazzard said: "It was fantastic to see how many people turned out. It has been something for us to focus on and a big thing we wanted to do.
"We want to say a massive thank you for everyone's support and that came along.
"It has been quite an emotional day, but we have been humbled by the amount of people that have supported. We are just overwhelmed."
Sister Chloe added: "it was amazing to see the support for Hollie and she would have been proud looking down."
Among the walkers were Hollie's grandparents in their 70s and her niece, Ruby Phillipotts - just two-and-a-half years old.
Aaron Abbot, manager of the King Teddy pub in Longlevens, where Hollie also worked was one of the main organisers.
The 39-year-old said he would do the walk in a giant bear suit if generous punters raised £500.
He said: "it was a really good day. I was lucky enough to have Hollie work with me and she was bubbly and bright. We used to have a lot of banter and she was certainly one to stand out.
"It gave everyone a chance to remember Hollie."
Leader of Gloucester City Council, Paul James, added: "Like everyone I wanted to show my support for Hollie and do something positive out of what was shocking and tragic.
"A remarkable number of people have taken part given the weather, which shows the depth of feeling in the city."
