More than 1,000 walkers headed to Bents Park for the event on Saturday (October 8), undeterred by a chilly morning.
The walk, which offers the option of a 1.5 km or a 7 km route, aims to support those dealing directly or indirectly with the disease – as well as raising money for vital services and research provided by the charity.
