LANGHOLM teenager Dylan Kay and his mum and dad, Angie and James, raised money at the Colour Run in Carlisle recently for Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw House.
Dylan uses Jigsaw House for respite one weekend every eight weeks and has been going there for about two years.
Angie said: “It’s a fantastic place.
Every person we have met is so dedicated to the children.
“They also do mums’ pamper nights, dads’ nights and sibling days so the whole family is involved.
“We’ve done the colour run for three years and raised about £400 for Jigsaw House. We’re so lucky Dylan can go.
“The run is a brilliant experience. Who doesn’t like getting covered in paint and running through foam baths?”
