Sunday, March 25th saw Bute Park become a sea of blue as Kidney Wales fundraisers put their best feet forward for the annual Walk for Life.

Hundreds of walkers took part in the fundraising event including 6 Nations rugby star Jamie Roberts and boxing champion Nathan Cleverly. The Cardiff walk was one of many events taking place across Wales hoping to smash last year’s total of £123,000 to support kidney patients across Wales.

The event, sponsored by Specsavers, raises money which will go towards providing life-saving equipment and care for kidney patients, training staff at the Children’s Kidney Centre, supporting ground-breaking research into kidney disease, as well as promoting organ donation.

This year’s Walk for Life was also supported by Welsh rugby international Leigh Halfpenny, who is ambassador for the event alongside BBC One Show presenter Alex Jones, S4C presenter Sarra Elgan and ITV newsreader Andrea Byrne, who are ambassadors for the Walk for Life.

Roy J Thomas, Executive Chairman of Kidney Wales said: “Once again the people of Wales have come out to support the Kidney Wales Walk for Life. We had people walking in town centres, in parks and on the hills. We are extremely grateful for all the support we receive which helps fund the work we do with patients across the country. We were also very glad that Jamie and Nathan were able to be with us to support the event.”
