    Story

    In memory of my two beautiful and much missed boys - Joshua who would be 30 on 11 June and Harry who would be 18 on 21 July, I will be completing two challenges on the weekend of Harry's 18th birthday. On 21 July I hope to complete a Couch to 5k run. As anybody who was at school with me knows, I am no runner! I have never attempted to run before, and in honour of Harry who loved a real challenge, I'm going to attempt to run 5k barefoot. Well, I will have a little bit of rubber to protect my feet from glass and other nasties, but no fancy springy trainers! On 22 July I will climb Pen-y-Fan, the biggest mountain South Wales has to offer. Sponsor money raised will go to three charities - Wick Youth Club, where Harry loved to let off steam as a youngster and then returned to volunteer as a teenager; Croeso Llantwit which is a charity aiming to bring a Syrian refugee family to settle in Wales (two of Harry's best friends at college are Syrian and I know this would be a charity close to his heart); and finally a third of funds raised will go towards improving mental health services at Llantwit Major School. Please help if you are able to. Many thanks, Karen xxx

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
