Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11.5pt;">Following the unbelievable palliative care my father received from the Ty Olwen Trust in August, I decided that I should do something to raise money for this wonderful charity.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11.5pt;">For those of you that don&rsquo;t know what the Ty Olwen Trust do &ndash; please view the attached link that will take you direct to their website. - http://www.tyolwen.org/Pages/Ty_Olwen.html</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11.5pt;">I am delighted to say that some friends have offered to help me raise money for the Trust and if you are here from Giles, Gina, James, Phil, Emma, Matt, Ben, Julie or Neil sending you this link &ndash; thank you!!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11.5pt;">We have decided to run the Llanelli half marathon on March 4.
