On Friday 14th April this year, Sam Warren laced up his trainers, secured his helmet and hopped on his bike to ride to Tŷ Hafan. But this wasn’t just a leisurely trip – it was a long journey from Bristol to Sully to raise money for us! 

It took almost six hours (including a few brakes – see what we did there?) for Sam to get to Tŷ Hafan from his Bristol-based workplace, a distance of more than 50 miles. Just thinking about it brings a drop of sweat to our brow! 

Sam told us: “A few months ago I visited the hospice as a volunteer with my work to help out with painting.

“When I found out what Tŷ Hafan does and how much they had to raise each year, and as someone with a young daughter and a second child on the way, I wanted to help out by raising some money. 

“I am passionate about cycling, so I decided to do a sponsored cycle from my workplace, Brakes, in Portbury, to Tŷ Hafan hospice – around a 54-mile ride. I felt that this was the least I could do to help them carry on an amazing job they do.

“After leaving work at around 6 am, stopping a few times, I arrived at 12:45 pm, with some very achy legs, to a warm welcome at Tŷ Hafan hospice.” 

It was our pleasure to welcome you to Tŷ Hafan after your epic bike ride, Sam. Thank you for your excellent efforts!
