The hugely anticipated M&D Care Llanelli Half Marathon took place on Sunday 25th September. The event, which we were delighted to headline sponsor once again this year, played host to an array of runners from fun loving amateurs to competitive elites.
Attendees appeared to be running on a high this year with hundreds managing to achieve their personal bests. Participants took to the route on closed roads, in what was considered perfect running conditions with little to no wind. Amongst the runners were our very own M&D Care running team, consisting of members of staff, and people we support.
We were also delighted that our M&D Volunteer team turned up in mass to show support to the runners, and help out on the day, handing our bottles of water along the route. We are extremely proud of our team, with a special mention to the people we support.
We had a fantastic day coming together with our community, achieving fantastic things, from completing the half marathon to attending to support, many personal barriers were overcome yesterday, and it is for that we say a massive congratulations and well done, from all at M&D Care!
Take a look at our memories from the day:
To support this year’s half marathon we have put together a running group made up of our employees and people we support, our runners will be supported leading up to the event by experienced marathon runners from within our organisation.
Team M&D Care will be running on the day in support of the Paul Ridd Foundation, a charity M&D Care have a shared connection with.
The Paul Ridd Foundation was created to support people with a learning disability, their families and carers when needing secondary health care.
Through raising awareness of the issues faced when accessing health care, encouraging use of the health profile, ensuring that reasonable adjustments are made and so much more – the foundation is making a huge a difference for the people with learning disabilities!
We are honoured to be able to support a charity so close to our hearts. If you would like to sponsor our team, you can do so via our Go Fund Me page.
