A local business raised more than £1,800 for a childrens’ charity when they saddled up for a recent cycle challenge.

T? Hafan Business and Community Fundraiser, Shelley Kirkham, visited the West Wales Holiday Cottages office in Sarnau and thanked the team for raising an amazing £1,842 to support the charity’s work with life-limited children and their families, around 60 of which are currently from West Wales.

The Ceredigion holiday firm fielded a team of four in the T? Hafan Taff Trail Cycle Challenge, riding 26 miles from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff on September 7.

David Witt, Senior Partner of West Wales Holiday Cottages and one of the riders in the team, said: “West Wales Holiday Cottages has long been a supporter of T? Hafan so we are thrilled that our kind cottage owners and their guests rallied round to sponsor us, raising so much money for such a good cause. We would like to thank everyone for their donations and their messages of support. They helped ease the pain of the saddle sores!”
