RUH staff Walk of Life

BAZ Harding-Clark, orthopaedic practitioner in the emergency department of Bath’s RUH, will lead a team of colleagues in the Walk of Life on Saturday, May 28th to remember their colleagues Julie and Kelly.

The walk, up to 26 miles of the Kennet and Avon Canal, raises funds for the hospital’s RUHX charity.

Baz said: “I first took part in 2021 when my colleague asked me to sign up with her. I ached a lot afterwards and had to work a 12 hour shift the next day, but I caught the walking bug and have been involved ever since.”

The Walk of Life offers a 26.2 mile and ten-mile option along the canal. This year also marks the launch of the Walk of Fun, a 1km accessible challenge for adults, parents and children. RUHX is asking those taking part to raise £100.
