Back in September, we were delighted to take a group of fundraisers over to @DisneylandParis for the Run Disney weekend. Hospice family, the Harvey's, took on the challenge and mum, Pauline, writes this week's #FamilyFriday to tell of her Tŷ Hafan journey "Tŷ Hafan supported us throughout Abigail’s short life, they were there at the end, and they continue to support us in bereavement. We want to raise awareness of the wonderful work Tŷ Hafan does so that other families won’t shy away from making that first contact, so that they too can be bolstered by the love and support available at Tŷ Hafan." https://zurl.co/FOO8

"Tŷ Hafan makes our family Christmas, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on Christmas day. " #BeingThere365 https://zurl.co/QS3E
