Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 

We did it!!!! A fantastic event that left us exhilarated and exhausted in equal measure. Thanks to all our families & friends who supported us...and to everyone who sponsored us.

 

After a brilliant weekend of rugby, sun, and beer in Beauvais on tour with Barry Rugby Club Veterans - Champions of Europe for the second year in a row!! - we started running to keep fit....and then our natural competitive edge took over and we got carried away and  we entered the Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Cardiff (see the link -http://www.mhsurvival.co.uk). It is said to be the toughest urban adventure race of the year with 10 challenging obstacles set over a10k run across difficult terrain -we must be mad ! We've been training twice a week  for it, running through Porthkerry Park, across Barry Island, and as far as the Sully Inn and back.

We think it is an excellent idea to use our run to raise funds for Ty Hafan Children's Hospice which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, so we ask for your support in sponsoring 4 Barry Rugby Club Veterans and their running coach - Charlie Chucas, Lee David, Paul Haley, Clive Thomas, and Sharon Alder.

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.
