VITAMIN D - The Sunshine Vitamin 🌞

It is called this because the skin produces Vit D when exposed to sunlight (UVB rays) which:

✔️ Is essential for bone health
✔️Supports the immune system
✔️ Aids muscle function

The sun, plus foods such as fatty fish and fortified dairy do well to help maintain the vitamin D you need... yet supplements are often needed in addition, especially during the winter months.

Listen to Lise's podcast about what to consider when choosing the most effective dose for you.

If you haven't yet watched Sanna's documentary of her record breaking run around the186 mile National Trail in just 48 hours, 23 minutes and 49 seconds, we recommend you do! A truly impressive achievement showing the grit, patience and determination (and community) involved in completing a challenge of this kind 👏

If you've been thinking of exploring the Pembrokeshire coastal path a little more this year, this is the inspiration you need...some lovely snippets of the stunning views we are lucky to have on our doorstep inside😃👌

PRESS RELEASE: Watch Sanna Duthie’s Record-Breaking Coastal Run Online

A new documentary capturing ultrarunner Sanna Duthie’s record-breaking run along the full length of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is now available to watch online.

Filmed and directed by Martin from Kelp and Fern, the film follows Sanna’s extraordinary journey as she completed the 186-mile National Trail in just 48 hours, 23 minutes and 49 seconds – setting a new Fastest Known Time.

From the physical challenges of non-stop running to moments of quiet reflection among Pembrokeshire’s dramatic cliffs and coves, the documentary reveals the grit, grace and deep motivation behind one of the UK’s toughest solo endurance feats.

The film premiered at Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard in November, in an event hosted by the Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust. The evening raised more than £500 through ticket sales and a raffle, adding to the £3,000 already raised through Sanna’s run – with all proceeds supporting conservation, heritage and engagement projects across the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Sanna has since been named as an official Ambassador for the Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust, recognising her passion for the landscape and her ongoing support for the Trust’s work to protect and promote the Park for future generations.

The full documentary is now available to watch online via the Trust’s Fundraisers page at�https://pembrokeshirecoasttrust.wales/impact/our-fundraisers.
