A PAIR of Prestatyn pageant winners are set to embark on a new challenge.

Ysgol Y Llys pupils, and Belle International Junior Master UK and

Junior Miss UK, Connor and Alyssa Dean will take on two 5K sponsored runs for the Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey Hospital charity.

The brother and sister, aged 11 and 9, will take time out of their busy schedules to follow up their success at Rhyl's race for Life in June with runs from the Ffrith to Barkby Beach on Sunday, August 11 and Sunday 18.

Darlene Fallorina, Connor and Alyssa's mother, said: "Connor and Alyssa are busy most weekends, taking part in a variety of after school and community based activities

"Connor is a sporty child, he likes football and athletics and of course running.

Whilst Alyssa has represented her school his year, she is however, not a keen runner. I myself am also not a keen runner, but I am very keen to support my children. I will happily run alongside, as much as I can, in order to encourage them."
