CLASSICAL superstar Katherine Jenkins will be cheering on thousands of runners on Sunday when she starts this year’s HSBC Cardiff 10K Run.

This will be the mezzo soprano’s first official engagement for the Kidney Wales Foundation after becoming the charity’s newest patron.

Katherine said: “I’m really looking forward to starting the run and can’t wait to see lots of kindhearted people coming together in the name of the charity.

“It’s going to be a wonderful day that, thanks to the generosity of people across Wales, will help raise life-saving funds for Kidney Wales.”

About 2,000 runners are expected to don their trainers on Sunday for the charity, which supports people with kidney problems, including Zowiann Flood, from Pontypridd.
