which provides vital dentistry to a rural community in Kenya.

Event organiser Eddie Piekut said: “In light of the very poor weather forecast the turnout was respectabl­e but a bit lower than previous years. The day turned out to be perfect walking weather, allowing for a decent amount to be raised for charity.

“I was proud when walkers said the day was a well-organised and fun event. It was great to see the town’s Rotary Clubs coming together, as well the Civic Society, and the East Berks Ramblers who assisted on specific parts of the route.”

Maidenhead MP Theresa May once again joined walkers for the start of the walk, along with Royal Borough Mayor, Cllr Christine Bateson, and Rotary district governor Marius Hopely. Mrs May said: “The Boundary Walk is a winwin. People get out into the countrysid­e for a great walk in the fresh air, but they also raise money for some great causes. I am very impressed that so many came out with the early stage of the day being wet and not looking very promising.”
