After being with Llantwit Major Milers for 2 years and seeing the excellent work being done by our dedicated core of Run Leaders, I felt it was time to give something back to the club that gives support to so many.

I hope that I can help take the club forward, but to be honest, it's only for the yellow Run Leader top!
