Her passion for fundraising sparked her and her sister Nicola to begin the Walk of Life in 2006\, and it has developed and grown ever since into the beautiful celebration that it is today with thousands of walkers stepping out for an incredible cause. The Walk of Life remembers Ness with our volunteer run ‘GoodNess’ stops along the way. \nWhether you’re walking in memory of a friend or family member\, to celebrate yours or your loved one’s recovery at the RUH\, or to say thank you to the incredible RUH staff\, this is a walk for all lives. \n\n\n\n\nWhat do I get for taking part? \n  \nExpandHide\n \n\n\nBy taking part in the in person event\, you’ll get: \n• An RUHX t-shirt\n• A dedication back sign to let everyone know who you’re walking for\n• Water and snacks along the way at our ‘GoodNess’ stops\n• Free morning coach service from Bath to Bishops Cannings (26.2/16 miles only)\n• Free lunchtime BBQ for all walkers\n• A Walk of Life finishers medal and finish line photo\n• All the fundraising materials and support you need\n• The pride of helping your local hospital do more \n\n\n\n\nWhere does my sponsorship go? \n  \nExpandHide\n \n\n\nThe funds raised from the Walk of Life will make a real-life impact.
