TWO friends are raising the bar and carrying out a month-long fundraiser to raise money for a charity close to their hearts.

Paul Williams, Llandudno Pier Manager, and builder Dean Seager, of D Seager Building and Plastering Contractors, will aim to complete a 400-mile cycle and 'Dry February' challenge to raise much needed funds for St David’s Hospice.

The duo raised an incredible £2,150 last year when they cycled 300 miles and completed 'Dry February' in aid of St David's Hospice and Prostate Cancer UK.

This year they are raising the bar with an additional 100 miles.

St David’s Hospice is a charity close to Dean; his father was cared for in Llandudno and a member of his family also works for the hospice.

Paul said: "We’re doing it for St David’s Hospice as they have supported so many local families through their darkest times.

"The service they provide is invaluable and essential. We are proud to support such a great cause."

"Fundraising from our 'Hospice Heroes' like Paul and Dean allow St David's Hospice to continue to provide vital care and support to those suffering with life limited illnesses in our community."
