Emma Hughes, who hails from Tenby and who now lives and works in Shanghai, China, successfully completed the 'Great Wall of China' Half Marathon last weekend, in aid of the Kidney Wales Foundation. A former pupil of Tenby Infants, Junior and Greenhill Schools and also a former English teacher at Ysgol Greenhill, Emma is now working at the British International School in Shanghai where she teaches English to the International Baccalaureate Curriculum. The gruelling Great Wall course (one of the world's top five 'must do') is regarded as one of the toughest as it includes 5,164 steps with very steep inclines and declines, and Emma completed the arduous challenge in two hours and 55 minutes. Emma, who paid all her own expenses for the race, is raising money for the Kidney Wales Foundation in support of her brother Adam, who was diagnosed with kidney failure in April 2013 and is now undergoing daily dialysis whilst on the kidney transplant waiting list. Emma and all the family are extremely grateful for all the support that she has received and were delighted that earlier this week her sponsorship total reached £1,017, including a magnificent donation of £100 from the Narberth and Whitland Rotary Club. All the money raised is going to the Kidney Wales Foundation and Emma would be delighted if you were also able to support her and the charity.
