A MUM is organising a special Christmas fair in Brecon raising funds in memory of her baby son.
Holly Millis' first child, Connor died aged just 10 weeks in December 2008.
But this weekend, ahead of the fourth anniversary of the youngster's death, Holly is holding a Christmas fair to raise funds for a charity that supports families affected by the rare condition that claimed Connor's life.
Tiny Connor was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), a rare disorder where the lower internal organs push into the chest cavity and squash the lungs and heart. He died 10 weeks later at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Holly, 26 of Bwlch who is also mum to Ciaran, two, said: "The fair is to raise money for the http://www.cdhuk.co.uk/about-cdh/what-is-cdh/target="_blank"">http://www.cdhuk.co.uk/about-cdh/what-is-cdh/target="_blank">CDH UK charity as Connor was born with the condition.
"I thought a Christmas fair would be a good idea. I wanted to do something and the idea of a Christmas fair just popped into my head."
The Christmas Fair is being held this Sunday, December 2 at Brecon Rugby Club, The Watton from 10.30am to 4.30pm. Entry is free with children's activities charged at 50 pence each and Father Christmas will be in attendance.
Raffle tickets are also available from the Sable and Hogg Gallery in Lion Street, Brecon town centre.
