What is the walk to remember?
This morning walk begins at Barry Island from 7 am. You’ll enjoy peaceful walk along the Promenade, Nells Point, Friars Point, Parade Gardens and The Cold Knap in memory of your loved ones and raising funds for Tŷ Hafan.
Registration is £10, or £5 for 3-17 year olds, and we ask that you fundraise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.
Children can only be registered by and with adults aged over 18 who have the consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian.
With your registration you’ll get:
a fundraising pack and the full support of the Tŷ Hafan Team to help you reach your fundraising target,
a hot drink on arrival to start you off on your walk,
a well earned hot breakfast roll when you finish the walk at Marco’s Cafe,
a Tŷ Hafan technical t-shirt when you raise £100.
Your fundraising transforms lives. Right now, only 1 in 10 families in Wales who need our help are getting the support they need through their child’s life, death and beyond. When you raise money for Tŷ Hafan, you take us one step closer to reaching every family in Wales who needs us, so no family faces the unimaginable death of their child alone.
