Story

Hi there! I'm back on the fundraising wagon and want to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity! I'm running the Wales, and Cardiff half marathons as my challenge for this year! 

Shalom House isn't known very well to those of you who are lucky enough to never have needed to find respite care for a loved one. My Dad has had M.S for 15 years and has deteriorated rapidly over the past 6 years or so, and now has to have full time support and care. My Mum sent my Dad to this amazing place in St.Davids for day and night care for a couple of days which allowed her to have time to herself and relax for a little, attend weekend events for work etc which she could never do before, and also allowed my Dad a chance to get out and meet new people. Unfortunately due to being low on funds they recently had to stop this amazing service that they provided. Recently they have been able to begin providing this service again due to fundraising efforts that myself and many others have carried out, but only the odd week here and there. They need more money and support so they can be up and running full time again like they used to!  This is an amazing charity, and they rely solely on donations and fundraising.. they do an incredible job. So please whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated! One day, you too, or someone close to you like a parent or friend, may need its fantastic help!
