Members of Batelco Hearts & Minds Committee, doctors, nurses and kidney patients participated in the event, which was held under the slogan "Your Kidney, Your Health mirror".
Participants expressed their gratitude and support to the Batelco Hearts & Minds Committee for organising such a beneficial activity.
"Members of The Hearts & Minds Committee have thankfully dedicated themselves to serving the local community," said Batelco Group GM Human Resources Shaikh Ahmed Al Khalifa.
"This walkathon is one of a series of events that the Hearts & Minds Committee has arranged recently that aim to raise the level of awareness on a number of worthwhile causes among community members," he added.
The Hearts & Minds Committee was formed during 2007 as part of Batelco's commitment to the community.
As well as contributing financially to a wide range of health, educational, sports and cultural projects, members of the Batelco Hearts & Minds committee volunteer their time to a variety of charitable causes.
