Councillor to run London Marathon for charity

_80117830_higgins

CARMARTHENSHIRE COUNTY COUNCILLOR Calum Higgins will be running the London Marathon this year, hoping to raise over £2,000 for the Welsh Cancer Charity Tenovus.

Calum ran last year’s Cardiff Half Marathon in a time of 1 hour 43 minutes and 25 seconds, raising over £400 for Ty Hafan children’s hospice.

On running the London marathon Calum said: “I enjoyed running the half marathon so much that I applied for a place in the London marathon.  Places are very hard to get and Tenovus have offered me a place to run and fundraise for them.

“I have a target of £2000 to raise and I’m pleased that I have this opportunity to raise some money for a Welsh based charity.”

Donations can be made in support of Calum’s marathon fundraising via a donations website page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Calumlondonmarathon or by hand delivery at 116 Penygarn Road, Tycroes, Ammanford.
