"From being part of the Ty Hafan family, I learned a lot of confidence and the ability to speak up" - Emma, 21. These two inspirational young women attended children's hospice Tŷ Hafan until they were 18. Since transitioning to adult services, they say the care and support they received during their childhood has helped them grow into the empowered and confident women they are today. This #ChildrensHospiceWeek, we're picking up our loudspeakers with Together for Short Lives to turn #UptheVolume, showing how children's hospices across the UK, like ours, make sure a short life is a full life.

The Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon has grown into one of the largest road races in the United Kingdom. The event is not only the UKs second largest half marathon, it is Wales' largest road race and Wales' largest multi-charity fundraising event. The route takes runners past the capital’s most iconic landmarks with beautiful scenery and historic buildings. The predominately flat and fast course makes it ideal for beginners and elites. Last year, Tŷ Hafan had over fifty runners take on the iconic course and we can't wait for this years event.

In today's #FamilyFriday, we meet the wonderful children and staff at Acorns Nurseries Limited, who are sponsoring the Snowdogs Wales campaign's Learning Programme and fundraising for Ty Hafan. In this short film, the children tell us what happened when the Snowdogs came to sit, stay and play for the day. They say never work with children or animals... but we think you'll agree this was a bit of a magical moment. http://bit.ly/2rlnQfa
