Dads of seriously ill children endured three days of almost non-stop physical exertion to raise money for Ty Hafan. The team managed to successfully scale Wales' 10 highest peaks in just two days, then cycle 53 miles from the Brecon Beacons to St David's Hotel in Cardiff Bay on Saturday.
One of the fathers involved was Matt Evans, from Swansea, whose five-year-old daughter Darcy was born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome which causes developmental delay. She also has cerebral palsy, kidney disease, suffers with frequent seizures and required heart surgery shortly after birth.
Matt admitted the three-day #10nTaff challenge was mentally and physically exhausting, but he said his constant thoughts of Darcy - and the amazing care given to her by staff at Ty Hafan based in Sully, Vale of Glamorgan - gave him the motivation to succeed. He said: "Before I agreed to take on the challenge I'd not been up Pen y Fan, I'd never been to Mount Snowdon, and I'd not been on a bike for 15 years properly." To donate please go here.
