Trail Marathon Wales · 22 June 2013

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

I took up running last year in a bid to get fit and quickly developed a love for running off road and with my second ever marathon coming up in a few months I have decided to raise some money whilst running this one.

I ran my first marathon on October 7th 2012, the Clarendon Marathon which I will be running again this year, and whilst lined up on the start line of that, I was chatting to another runner who had a fair few marathons under his belt who explained that if I finish then I'll either be addicted or I'll never run again. Several hours later, I was addicted.

SInce then I have kept up running and on June the 22nd 2013 I'll be lining up for the start of the second ever Trail Marathon of Wales in Coed y Brenin forrest. I don't anticipate this being an easy endeavour at all and by all accounts the route is tough but rewarding with a lot of hills involved.

This time I want to raise as much money as I can for Ty Hafan. Ty Hafan is a Welsh charity that provides support to life limited children, young people and their families. Its a great charity providing a range or support services to people in situations that most of us cannot even imagine. From supporting the family of the child, offering a wide range of therapies and counselling services, Ty Hafan are there for the entire family involved.

Even if you can only donate a few pounds, believe me, it will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, Tim
