Rachel Mahoney is raising money for Tŷ Hafan

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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.

Story

<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This July I&rsquo;m taking on the challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro, which is the world&rsquo;s highest free standing mountain! This means ascending to a height of 5895m to reach Uhuru Peak &ndash; a total of around 50 hours of trekking!!! As well as this being a massive personal achievement, I am also hoping to raise as much money as possible for a really worthwhile cause &ndash; Tŷ Hafan, and this is where I&rsquo;m asking for your help, PLEASE sponsor me!!!!</span></span></p> <p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Tŷ Hafan helps life-limited children, young people and their families make the most of the time they have left together. Not only is Tŷ Hafan a home from home providing specialist palliative care, but it also offers a much needed source of strength, respite and support for the whole family. From diagnosis to bereavement and beyond it takes its support right into the heart of the family home. For Tŷ Hafan to offer this unique service completely free of charge to families in Wales, it has to raise over &pound;2.5 million every year &ndash; so please give generously!</span></span></p> <p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I know a lot of you are students and have probably drunk away most of your student loan by now, so please pass the page link onto parents, grandparents, boyfriends, girlfriends, civil partners, teachers, pets, teacher's pets&nbsp;or anyone who cares about kiddies and you think might be willing to support this majorly worthwhile cause!</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
