On Saturday over 60 children and adults donned their trainers and Santa hats and turned the famous Gower's Bridge in Llanrwst red to raise a brilliant £947.

The event was hosted by Llanrwst Town Council and began with a group warm-up.

The run was started by TÅ· Gobaith regular, and Llanrwst's own Bedwyr and his friend Efa. Bedwyr even completed the race with his mother, Nerys and they raised a fantastic £400.

Lowri Davies from the Town Council helped organise the inaugural event and said: "How lovely it was to have Bedwyr and Efa as our special guests. It was a great morning and we hope the event will grow bigger and bigger in the future."

TÅ· Gobaith fundraiser Nikki Jones was their supporting the entrants and accepting generous donations, she said: "It's an honour to help support new events, especially ones which are right on our doorstep here in Conwy.

"A huge thank you to the Town Council and all the kind local people who came out for a fun morning.

"Every penny raised by events like this will go directly to helping us enable seriously ill children live their best lives, giggle, play and thrive."
