Cardiff Half Marathon Raising Money for Ty Hafan

Rhiannon Phillips is running Cardiff Half Marathon on 6 October 2024 in aid of Ty Hafan. This will be her first ever race. She says:

“I am very much a beginner when it comes to running so this will be a challenge for me. Ty Hafan are a charity that provide end of life care to children and young people in Wales. At the start of 2024, this charity became very close to my heart as they provided care to my nephew. The staff there are nothing short of incredible and go the extra mile to provide the best care and to ensure special memories are made. They receive very little government funding and rely heavily on fundraising, so if you can spare even a small amount, it would make a huge difference. Thanks so much!”

Golf Marathon for The Compassionate Friends [Completed – Please Visit Link To Donate]

2 years ago, Tom Brymer’s 17 year old cousin Katie took her own life in shocking circumstances leaving behind a young baby. This had a profound effect on all the family. Over the past 2 years, Tom Brymer’s Aunt has managed to find some comfort (and practical help from people who have had similar experiences) from The Compassionate Friends Charity. To support the charity, Tom, his father and brother, and friend Mark are going to play 4 rounds of golf in 4 counties in 1 day.

Thanks to Harleyford GC (Bucks), Huntercombe GC (Oxon), Sherfield Oaks GC (Hants) and Sonning GC (Berks) for their extremely generous support in providing complimentary tee times for the event.

So all that remains is for the 4 of them to get to Harleyford for 4am on 27th June 2024, walk around 20 miles carrying 15kg of golf clubs and play something like 1300 shots and hopefully finish around 9.30pm.

Jo Hooper Fundraises for MND [Completed – Please Visit Link To Donate]

Joanna Hooper is taking part in the Somerset Strider’s fundraiser for The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation on the 20th July. Jo is a Magistrate’s Solicitor based in our Bristol branch. Jo is taking part to support her step-mother, Carol Hooper, who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in 2020.

Jo says:

“[Carol Hooper] is our ongoing inspiration behind fundraising this wonderful charity. MND is unforgivingly cruel and debilitating. Like many others Carol has been fit and healthy her entire life prior to living with MND, and this change has been heartbreakingly difficult to accept and adapt to.”

During the fundraiser, teams of between 3-6 walkers will undertake the 18 mile route that starts and ends at Bristol Rovers and visits the homes of Bristol Flyers, Bristol Storm, Broad Plain Rugby Club, Bristol City and Gloucestershire CCC. All monies raised will go to the Darby Rimmer Foundation, who do unbelievable work in supporting those with MND as well as supporting research to find a cure.
