Christine Crapper - formerly Owen - regularly appeared with Nicholas Parsons on Sale of the Century.
She won numerous beauty queen awards throughout the 1970s including Miss Britain in 1971.
She died three months after her diagnosis, having received care from Ashgate Hospice's palliative care specialist team and its inpatient unit in Old Brampton. Her daughter said she was doing the walk, in Chesterfield on 1 July, to recognise the support her family received from the hospice at the end of her mother's life.
She said she would be joined by family and friends on the 6.2 mile walk as the Christine's Beauty Queens.She said: "Because of the incredible team at Ashgate, my mum received the loving, compassionate and respectful care that everyone should have access to at the end of their life. "It is impossible to put into words just what an unbelievable place Ashgate Hospice is and it is no exaggeration to say that I am surviving the very worst of times because of their kindness and ongoing support.""My mum was my partner in life and we still lived together. She was the most wonderful mum and a true friend to so many, always modest, but truly beautiful inside and out.
