On Sunday 19th September, myself and Carl Dams will be running the Admiral Swansea 10k.

A couple of months ago, the 2 of us couldn’t run up the stairs without being out of breath, so we have decided to do this and try and raise some money too.

We will be raising money for a defibrillator to be placed at Ystradgynlais Community Centre, as a central location for both the community centre and Ysgol Golwyg Y Cwm.

We will also be running to raise money for Mind Ystradgynlais, a charity that both myself and Dams feel is a worthy cause.

We have chosen these for our efforts to raise money for, as both are close to our hearts. The defib is a vital piece of equipment and with my father suffering a heart attack last year at the school, he was extremely fortunate to have the first aid from quick thinking members of staff at the school. This saved his life. A defibrillator on site will be an even bigger boost for any potential first aid needed.

We have also chosen Mind due to the fantastic work they do for people with mental health.

Sponsor forms will also be situated at venues around the area.

We are also looking for businesses to sponsor us to go on our running tops for the day. If anyone is interested, please contact us for information.

Thank you all
