Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In Oct 23 I will be running the Cardiff Half marathon and proudly wearing a Ty Hafan running vest in support of this fantastic charity. As a teenager I was diagnosed with cancer, a fibrous sarcoma. Fortunately, after several operations and years of remission its just a distant memory. However, I will forever be grateful to the children's hospital for Wales Paediatric Oncology Unit, NHS, my friends and family. 

Whilst I was fortunate and never required Ty Hafan's support, I witnessed first hand the incredible efforts Ty Hafan and other charities, such as LATCH, went to supporting children, teenagers and their families. 

Donating to Ty Hafan and wearing their running vest at this years cardiff half marathon - my first ever running event and the first time I will have run more than 5km - feels like the least I can do to recognise and support their incredible work supporting children with life limiting illnesses. Please feel free to make a donation or even just read up on the fantastic work they do. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Tŷ Hafan

Verified by JustGiving

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.
