Mid Wales bakery worker in running to help little Lilly
A bakery worker from Llangollen has been inspired to embark on a series of fund-raising challenges by her nine year old cousin who suffers from a rare life-limiting condition.
Quality assurance manager Charlie Reoch, 25, is kicking off her quest with the Village Bakery Half Marathon in Wrexham on February 17, after being inspired by her cousin Lilly Day, who suffers with the rare condition Ataxia-Telangiectasia or A-T.
Lilly, who lives in Kent, is one of less than 30 people who have been diagnosed with the care condition that affects the brain, immune system and increases the risk of cancers.
The cruel condition causes increasingly severe disability for which there is no cure or treatment.
Now Charlie, who works for Village Bakery in Wrexham, is training for the half marathon to raise money for the A-T Society and Lilly’s family, so they can go on a holiday of a lifetime touring Europe in a camper van.
