Reasons to do it…
There are many reasons to run the Cardiff Half Marathon for Hospice of the Valleys – whether it’s in memory of a loved one, because you, a family or friend has received support from the Hospice, to push and challenge yourself or simply because you need somewhere to wear your costume…What are you waiting for?
The minimum age for our charity place is 18 years old on the event day.
Celebrate the summer with a Big Hospice ‘Par-Tea’! Get together with family, friends or colleagues between June and August and a host a tea party (or any kind of party you like) in support of your local Hospice. All you have to do is decide what kind of party you want to host (see below for some inspiration), tell everyone you know all about it and have a great time all while raising money for a worthy cause.
Don’t forget to get in touch and let us know what you’re doing and when. Our fundraising team is always on hand to provide advice and support to make your fundraising as effortless as possible.
Getting your money to us
After your event (and after you’ve had a well-earned rest) all you have to do is contact a member of the fundraising team using the details opposite and we can arrange the most convenient way of paying in your money, whether that’s popping into our office, sending a cheque or making a donation online – it’s completely up to you!
We hope that we’ve made it as easy as possible to host a Big Hospice ‘Par-Tea’ but if you have any questions or need additional support then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of our friendly team members. Happy partying!
For the first time ever we’re bringing a large-scale event to Blaenau Gwent and the South Wales Valleys and encourage everyone to unleash their alter-ego at our brand new Hospice of the Valleys KAPOW Superhero Challenge!
