Three women from the Llyn and Eifionydd area will take part in the 2019 Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday, 6 October to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

Carys Wyn Williams, 46, from Llanystumdwy, Sioned Taylor, 21 from Pwllheli and Chwilog girl Elan Tudur Jones, 25, all have one thing in common - they either work or have worked recently for Cadwaladers at Criccieth.

Cadwaladers is proud to be supporting the British Heart Foundation as their charity of the year 2019.

Carys Williams, the store manager of Criccieth Cadwaladers, will be running with two members of her team in memory of her father Alan Wyn Williams (Al Bach) of Rhoslan, who died 11 years ago after suffering chest pains.

“Alan, my dad, who was 56 years old at the time, was airlifted to the hospital after experiencing chest pain.

“The doctors informed us he had suffered a serious heart attack and he was placed in intensive care. He started to take a turn for the better and was talking to us but unfortunately had another massive heart attack and passed away. He was always a hard-working man, who was rarely ill and never smoked and it was a shock to the family. Therefore, I have decided to run the Cardiff Half Marathon and fundraise in his memory”.

A collection pot has been placed on the counter at Cadawaladers Criccieth and in just under three weeks £380 has been donated.

They also have a justgiving page and if anybody would like to donate, go to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cadscardiffhalf
