Hundreds of people descended on a Leeds park in a boot-iful show of support for a girl with cancer.
More than 500 people took part in a welly walk around Roundhay Park yesterday in a record attempt to raise money for Kendal Middleton Jessop, who turns four this month.
The youngster, from Swarcliffe, has neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer with a 40 per cent survival rate.

The walk raised several thousand pounds.PICTURE: JONATHAN GAWTHORPE (JG1002/19a)
