On June 12th 2010, 5 members of Sinclair Finance & Leasing will be taking part in the GEAES Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of Tŷ Hafan.

Tŷ Hafan was established in 1999 to provide respite, palliative and end of life care to the children in Wales who suffer from life-limiting conditions. Life limiting conditions are those which mean that the child or young person is not expected to reach nineteen years of age.

Children suffer from various conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Cystic Fibrosis and Celebral Palsy. Some children are diagnosed at birth; others receive no diagnosis or at some point treatment is abandoned. Children and their families might receive our support for many years or just for a few days at the end of life. Either way, Tŷ Hafan provides love, care and support for the children and their families absolutely free of charge.

Tŷ Hafan is a registered charity and was established entirely from public donations. It now costs £2.5 million a year to run the hospice and all but 17% (Government funding) is raised through the generosity of our donors and supporters.

The Team of Peter Jones, Thomas Jenkins, Paul Butcher, Matthew Fullstone and Kerry Thomas, will take on the challenge of the 3 Peaks.

Starting at 4am, from Pen y Pass, Snowdonia, they will take on Snowdon, drive down to the mighty Cadair Idris (also in Snowdonia) before continuing south to Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons. They will walk a total distance of 20.35 miles and make a total ascent of 9,397ft (2,864m) whilst seeing some of the most spectacular views Wales has to offer.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
