Story

Thank you to everybody who sponsored me for this event. I'm pleased to say that I completed the event in three hours and five minutes coming an unexpected third place in the senior men's category!

I've put some photos online and videos are still to come.

If you were waiting to see the result of the event before sponsoring, now's your chance. I also got sponsorship through paper forms and will put my total online as soon as I have it.

As you'd expect from such motivated athletes, we've been in training. See how we got on: Cold Water Training

About the charity

Tŷ Hafan

RCN 1047912
Sadly, thousands of families in Wales live every day knowing their child’s life will be short. At the moment, they often face this without any care or support. Alone. Afraid. Isolated. Tŷ Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.
