🎅 Buddy the Elf is on a mission… and this time he’s running!
My son Buddy (yes, named after THE Buddy the Elf) is taking on the 1K Kids Fun Run at the Great Christmas Fun Run 2025, fully dressed in his elf suit and ready to spread as much Christmas cheer as his little legs can manage!
Earlier this year, Buddy literally faced his fears by diving with sharks to raise money for Faith in Families… so taking on a festive 1K dressed as an elf? Easy. He says, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by giving hope to kids this year!”
Buddy is running for children in Swansea who are living in poverty, crisis and trauma. He's running for children who deserve warmth, safety, and a magical Christmas just like every other child.
He’s small, he’s speedy, he’s dressed in green and yellow…
And he’s showing that even the tiniest runners can make a big difference.
💛 Buddy the Elf is running for Faith in Families because every child deserves Christmas joy.
