Flintshire family to host motorbike ride in memory of son
Dan and Nicola Fish, from Caergwrle, are organising the event in memory of their son Leo, who died in 2017 at just 13 weeks old from an undiagnosed heart condition.
The ride will take place on Saturday, August 16, starting from The Old Stores in Pontblyddyn.

Mr Fish, 36, said: "Doing this helps us keep Leo's memory alive and we are hoping for an even bigger turnout this year.
"Hope House is a wonderful place and supported us with counselling.
"The money we have raised in the past has helped them develop their gardens.
"Our aim is to keep everyone safe, remember Leo, spread awareness of the hospices and hopefully raise a fantastic amount to help other local families."

The event will raise funds for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith children's hospice, which supported the family with counselling after Leo's death.
The route will take riders from Pontblyddyn to Ma Bakers café in Whitchurch before finishing at Hope House in Oswestry.
A £10 donation is suggested to take part.
The event is open to all bikes, including 50cc models.
Activities will begin at 9am, with family entertainment, a raffle, and refreshments available at Leo's Café, located inside The Old Stores.
The café is named in tribute to Leo and is owned by Mr Fish's father-in-law.
