  The Tŷ Hafan Half Taff challenge taking place on Sunday 2 September is a comparatively gentle route, much of it off-road, starting at Rhydycar Leisure Centre in Merthyr Tydfil and passing through some beautiful countryside and the leafy suburbs of Cardiff before finishing in the Bay. It's the perfect opportunity to join your friends, family or work colleagues to either set yourselves a challenge to achieve a personal best time to complete the route, or just simply take it easier and enjoy the surroundings.
  Last year over 130 cyclists took on the challenge and arrived in Cardiff Bay, to a heroes welcome..
  Sali Thomas from Tŷ Hafan said "The Taff Trail Cycle Challenge is always a popular event and the shorter route starting from Merthyr gives a chance for families or those who take cycling less seriously to take part"
  To sign up visit www.thetafftrail.co.uk or call 02920 672060. Registration for the event is £40 per team with each team raising a minimum of £250 in sponsorship which will ensure Tŷ Hafan continues to provide care and support to the youngsters and their families who access its services.Back to Previous Page Noah's storyRead Noah's story and listen to the beautiful lullaby created in his memory...read moreIeuan's StoryThere are no words to describe the loss and the way we feel, but we've met living angels... they live at Tŷ Hafan.read moreCasey's story"They have become an extended part of the family and have completely changed our lives."read moreRhys's storyFor Rhys, Tŷ Hafan is a place where he can enjoy being a regular 11-year-old.read more
