When Callum was told by his mum that Ospreys hooker Ifan Phillips was involved in a motorcycle crash and had to have his leg amputated he decided to do a 5k run for his hero. Callum from Tycoch is fundraising to help cover the cost of a prosthetic leg.
The schoolboy told us: "I am a massive fan of the Ospreys and I go to the Liberty Stadium quite a lot to watch them. Every time the game ends I go down to the tunnel and Ifan was one of the players who always made time to have a chat with me and give me a high five.
"When my mum told me Ifan had to have his leg amputated, I was very sad because he was always so friendly with me. As my mum and brother had done a charity run quite recently - I decided that I would do one for Ifan, for my friends and family to raise money for me."
