Rhys Page - Solving Kids Cancer
Name: Rhys Page
Department: Communities
Charity: Solving Kids Cancer
What: I will be running, jogging or walking a 10k every day in January 2022 with my friend Anthony to raise money for Solving Kids Cancer. We will be doing 310k each this month which is approximately the distance of us both walking from Brynamman to London.
Why: We have chosen this charity in memory of a young boy “Joseph Yeandle” who unfortunately lost his fight against cancer recently.
When: January 2022
Liz Howells - Twins Trust
Name: Liz Howells
Department: Communities
Charity: Twins Trust
What: I am part of a volunteer team who staff a listening line for parents of twins and multiples (triplets, quads) for those times when they need someone to listen. Twins Trust also provide a range of services to parents/grandparents and carers as well as research to improve maternity care and raise awareness of twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
Why: My twins were born 7 weeks early due to undiagnosed Twin to Twin Tranfusion syndrome and are thankfully healthy happy six year olds but the support of Twins Trust has been very important to me
