THE Barry Walk For Life, held on Sunday, raised more than £1,300 for the Kidney Wales Foundation.

A crowd of walkers started at Morrisons Car Park at 11am.

They walked to the Knap, through Romilly Park and back via Broad Street, wearing the official Walk For Life T-shirts.

The event was organised again this year by Gaynor Taylor in memory of her son Richard, who died in 2004, and her husband John, who died two years ago shortly before the walk.

Gaynor said: "It was a lovely day for it and the turn-out was good ­- we even had some fancy dress walkers."

Four members of the Sullivan family dressed as the 118 runners ­- provoking reactions from passing cars and pedestrians.

After the walk, Gaynor said: "This year, we raised more than £1,300, and another £500 from the associated quiz night, so although we haven't got a final figure yet, I am really pleased."

All walkers received a certificate to celebrate their achievement.
