Wow! What a day the Porthcawl 10k was yesterday! Did you know that for every runner that passed 400m World Relay Champion Iwan Thomas, Healthspan donated £10.00 per participant! Iwan came 377th (with seven Tŷ Hafan runners finishing in front of him) so that's a massive £3,700 donated to Tŷ Hafan. This could pay for a family to stay in the hospice for a much needed break to allow them to make the most of the time they have together. So thank you to Healthspan for such a kind donation and a big shout out to all those runners that #beatIwan
Thank you so much to @every.girls.club for their amazing glitter painting today. The runners still look great after their 10k #porthcawl10k
