A care team has raised more than £15,000 for Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice.

Nearly 30 nurses and members of the care team from Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice took part in a 25km fundraising challenge.

They walked from Roath Park to the hospice in Sully, in 'driving winds and heavy rain.'

The walk was part of the '25km for 25 years' challenge.

Family, friends, and other hospice staff members supported the walkers along the route, helping to keep spirits high during the eight-hour walk.

Deputy lead nurse and co-organiser of the walk, Meg Fears, said: "Kat and I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone that took part and supported in the 25km challenge on Sunday.

"The team were incredible and did everyone proud.

"Everyone at the support stations gave us a massive boost and kept us smiling.

"We couldn't have done it without our supporters.

"Also, the reception at the end was amazing.

"Finally, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated so generously and helped us to raise so much money."

She highlighted the drive behind the fundraiser - to get a new adapted vehicle to give the children and young people being cared for a chance to go out on trips.

She added: "What a great day and we are so proud of the amount of money that we have raised for this fantastic cause."

Tŷ Hafan chief executive Irfon Rees said: "I’d like to say a big thank you to all those involved in the 25k for 25 years fundraising walk and to everyone who has donated so generously, resulting in more than £15,000 being raised from this event.

"Heavy rain and gusting winds throughout the day didn’t help, but our amazing team not only kept going but kept smiling too.

"A huge thank you also to all those who supported along the route and behind the scenes and a big well done and special thanks to deputy lead nurse Meg Fears and nurse Kat Morris for organising such a fantastic challenge."
