We are looking for a team of 6 to take part in the British 10K London Run on Sunday the 6th July. This run takes competitors right through the heart of London, which is cleared of traffic for the occasion. The atmosphere is electric and there is a lot of competition for places, so call us now! To secure a place you simply have to pay a £45 registration fee and pledge to raise £120 in sponsorship. For further information call 01492 879058 or download a pack from www.stdavidshospice.org.uk.
Hope to see you on Sunday for the Walking The Planks of Llandudno Pier event!

There will be a registration fee of Adults £10/ Children £5 for those who do not wish to collect sponsorship.

Congratulations and thank you to our intrepid cyclists -
Martin and Lesley Leeds for riding 60 miles from Bangor to Connah’s Quay dressed as a nun and a vicar. They battled high winds and high seas but arrived at their destination victorious if extremely tired and mud splattered. So far they have raised £1,100.00 and the total is still rising. And John Harvey for his 750 mile ride from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket. He had to deal temperatures of over 40 degrees, a bout of heat exhaustion and dehydration, and snakes!
‘In all, apart from the illness I had a really good time. It was a great experience, but the best kick of all, is that for every mile I cycled St. David’s Hospice will benefit.’
John has raised an incredible £1,850.00 and suspects there may be a little more to come.
