It just goes to show that  when people visit Welsh Reserves they are sometimes so inspired by what they see they land up fighting the cause for nature in the most unexpected places in the most unexpected ways!  

This is what happened to young Niamh Stewart , a 12 year old girl from Dubai, who after visiting the RSPB Conwy Reserve this summer has decided to try and raise £250 by taking part  in the United Arab Emirates 5k Color Run on the 14th December.  

Niamh said that  she was inspired when she " visited the Reserve and was amazed at the wild birds I saw and how the sanctuary has been built to protect the birds and keep them safe".

The Color Run was founded in January of 2012 as an event to promote healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the “Happiest 5k on the Planet”. basically  the run is a fun un-timed race in which thousands of participants, or “Color Runners”, are doused  from head to toe in different colours at each kilometer. With only two rules...Wear white at the starting line and Finish plastered in colour!

Niamh has raised £200 so far, so to get her over the finishing line of £250 and donate  ckeck out her Just giving page at  http://www.justgiving.com/Niamh-Stewart.
