More than 240 people took part in the Walk of Life on Saturday 20th May, raising vital funds for the Royal United Hospital in Bath.

The sponsored walk, which took place along the Kennet & Avon Canal, was organised by RUHX, the official charity of the RUH.
Walkers completed either a 26.2-mile marathon challenge from Bishops Cannings or a 10-mile challenge from Bradford On Avon along the canal towpath, crossing the finish line at The Holburne Museum in Bath.
To date, over £26,000 has been raised from the event, and RUHX expects this to rise over the coming weeks.
Laura Snell, Events & Community Manager, RUHX said: “Thank you so much to everyone who took part in the Walk of Life. You really have gone the extra mile for your local hospital. You are all superstars!
“Walking a marathon or 10 miles in the blazing sunshine is no easy feat and we have been so inspired by you all.
“Whether you walked to remember a loved one, as a thanks for care you have received, to get active or support a great cause – your efforts mean we can do more for the RUH, its patients and staff.
“We’d also like to say a big thank you to our dedicated volunteers whom help make the event possible, to everyone that sponsored and donated, and to our committed event sponsor Savills.”
