A YOUNG boy cycled from Rogerstone to Caerleon to raise money for St David's Hospice Care.
Joshua Stack, who turned four in September, cycled from Fourteen Locks to Caerleon with his dad Peter Stack – 6.5 miles in total – to raise money for St David’s Hospice Care in Gwent and Powys, while dressed as Father Christmas.

They raised over £500 to help fund the staff who provide essential palliative care services to vulnerable families within the community.
