We are delighted to share that Dave Clark will be taking on the Cardiff Half Marathon 2026 in support of Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice, a charity that provides vital care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families across Wales.
Tŷ Hafan's mission is to ensure that no family has to face their child's short life alone, offering support through a child's life, death, and beyond.
The Cardiff Half Marathon, taking place on 4 October 2026, is one of the UK's most popular running events, attracting thousands of participants each year to take on the 13.1-mile course through the Welsh capital. By choosing to run for Tŷ Hafan, Dave is not only setting himself a significant personal challenge but is also helping to raise much-needed funds to support the charity's essential services for families throughout Wales.
Training for a half marathon requires dedication, commitment and perseverance, and we would like to wish Dave every success as he prepares for race day. We encourage colleagues, friends and supporters to get behind his fundraising efforts and help make a difference to the children and families who rely on Tŷ Hafan's care and support.
Every donation, no matter the size, will help Dave move closer to his fundraising goal while supporting an incredibly worthwhile cause.
Good luck, Dave, from all of us! We look forward to cheering you on every step of the way.
