    All monies raised for Welsh Hearts will go towards:

    • Heart Screening in Wales
    • Placing Defibrillators in Welsh communities
    • Providing free CPR & Defibrillator training

    Speaking to Wales247, Kimberley Lloyd, Operations Manager for Welsh Hearts said:

    “We are delighted. This event has grown and now in its 5th year it has become the biggest Santa dash in wales’ just over 2000 people attended today. All money raised from this event goes towards placing more public access defibrillators in Wales.”

    Fancy dress optional, but always encouraged.
