The Walk for Life weekend kicked of with Road Runner on the evening of the 6th of May followed by Amy’s Club, an Amy Winehouse tribute band. This was a concert provided by Arboleas Town Hall and played to a “full house” (square).
The day of The Walk, Saturday 7th, was compered by Almeria Radio with the incomparable Jack Savage who really made the day go with a swing. Christine Axelsen’s ever-popular Dog Show was first, with Richard Bond introducing the dogs and owners and Karen Cunningham judging. This was followed by The Walk. 304 people from all nationalities ran or walked, some in fancy dress, some walking with friends, some pushing wheelchairs, some with family and with babies in buggies or with their dogs. At least another 200 people were there to watch and cheer people on. There was a wonderful community atmosphere.
In the evening, after the winners’ presentations, the crowd were entertained by Fusion Charity Band then Kayleigh Easton giving you Country, Pop and Rock ’n’ Roll and rounding the night off with The All Skas a high energy Almeria based Ska band bringing the best of Ska to Southern Spain.
Thank you to all who came along, all the companies who provided water and prizes, to Almería Radio for their help on the day and before, to all who ran or walked and to everybody who sponsored them. On 14th May, we have raised €9613.15 but we know there is more to come in.

This was a weekend full of fun with two evenings of superb free entertainment but let’s not forget that this was a charity event to raise money to help people affected by cancer in your area.
