If you’re a mum you’ll know all about babies and sleepless nights. But mercifully there comes a point when being yanked out of sleep every couple of hours reaches an end; and oh to discover the joy of a full night’s uninterrupted blissful slumber. Well imagine if that point didn’t arrive. Imagine if waking every couple of hours went on for years. Some mums don’t have to imagine it, they have to live it....
Fortunately most of us are blessed with healthy children, but not all of us. Tŷ Hafan cares for many children throughout South Wales who have been born with a devastating life-limiting condition. Such conditions require round-the-clock care; to administer medication, to nurse and care for a child during seizures, whatever the reason it means being with the child (or sometimes children) throughout the night.
Tŷ Hafan offers a range of services for life-limited children and their families, one of which is providing short break care for parents; their love for their children is unquestioning, but they do need a break from what is literally a waking nightmare.
The Midnight Sleepwalk, taking place this Friday, 4th May, is a 6 mile, ladies only, walk around Cardiff City Centre and Cardiff Bay. It starts and finishes at the Millennium Stadium and takes in many of Cardiff's historic landmarks.
