Council runners raise cash for Children In Need


A team of council staff have run across Carmarthenshire to raise money for Children in Need.
Between they ran a distance of around 50 miles and raised £1,560 – most donated by council staff.
The runners - Lynn Price, Simon R Davies, Gareth Jones, Simon J Williams, Val Brown, Rachel Parkinson, Tracey Thomas, Penelope Graepel, John Arnold, Ben Grice, Emyr Phillips and Noelwyn Daniel – ran in pairs in a relay format, with each pairs covering over 10 miles.
The route was Llandeilo - Llandybie - Ammanford - Tycroes - Hendy - Llanelli - Burry Port - Kidwelly - Johnstown - and finished in Carmarthen.
All the main council buildings were visited along the route with donations being received from shoppers and shop owners along the way.
They were greeted at County Hall by Vice Chair Cllr Ivor Jackson who said: “This was an amazing effort by staff, congratulations to all who took part and thanks to everyone who donated money, contributing to the excellent sum raised.”
