Hundreds braved wet weather on Sunday to raise funds for the fight against motor neurone disease (MND).
The walking event Walks 2 D'Feet MND at the Regiona Sports Park attracted the Magpies football team and local mayors.
It was instigated by Napier man and former professional photographer Nathan McNabb.
The 43-year-old was diagnosed with MND four years ago after going to the doctor because of a twitch in his left arm.
He was given 10 years to live but the disease is often more aggressive - most die from it between 2 to 10 years.
"I'm going to break all the rules and go for as long as I can," he said.
