On December 6th I shall be taking part in the Tŷ Hafan "Santas on the Run" event. This will be a never before seen spectacle of 500 people all dressed as santa, running across the M48 Severn Bridge.

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.

Every penny I raise by doing the santa run will go towards the £2.5 million Tŷ Hafan requires every year to keep providing their services to children, young people and families from across Wales.
