A LLANELLI family who are supported by children's hospice Tŷ Hafan will officially start this month's Dark Run event at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

- IAN LEWIS Reporter

Hannah Coles will lead the start of the hospice's 2.5k sponsored fun run on Saturday, October 25.

Hannah's nine-year-old son Sebastian has severe cerebral palsy resulting from a brain injury he suffered when he was a baby.

Sebastian, Hannah, dad Troy and little sister Holly have all started to receive support from Tŷ Hafan in the past few weeks.

Hannah added: "We got accepted for support by Tŷ Hafan at Easter and instantly got this wave of support. It took my breath away and I'm so thankful for all the support we're now getting.

"There's a big part of me that wished I'd applied to Tŷ Hafan a lot sooner. Seb has already been in for week-long symptom management stay when the doctors had a good look at him and his meds.
