In memory of Ieuan Thomas-Yendle
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On the 5th of October 2014, we will be completing the Cardiff Half Marathon (21km) in aid of the Ieuan the Lion Memorial Fund.
The Ieuan the Lion Memorial Fund has been created in memory of Ieuan Thomas-Yendle, "born in Pillgwenlly, Newport, South Wales on 4th March 1994 and flew away on 3rd July 2007 at the age of 13".
It is a registered charity with the aim of providing support for families in Wales caring for children with a life limiting condition. The charity provides a free holiday for these children in a holiday home in Kiln Park, Tenby that has been developed to accommodate wheelchair use and other special requirements.
Our association with family goes back many years so when we decided to run the Cardiff half marathon, Daughter and Father together. With neither of us having ever run this sort of distance before, it had to be to support a worthwhile charity. The Ieuan the lion memorial fund was our 1st and only option.
We will be completing the 13miler in October to help Ieuan’s smile live on. We would be grateful if you could help show your support by providing a small donation to this local charity to help keep these holidays free.
Ieuan's story is a heart wrenching description of a young soul that was taken much too soon.

Many thanks,
Brian & Lauren Amos
