Please consider JustGiving at www.justgiving.com/page/cardiff...
If anyone has a few spare quids then I am sure they will be gratefully received.
Thankyou

At this time of year, many of us think about those who are no longer with us and the empty chair at the festive celebrations.

Commemorate the memory of your loved one by lighting a star in the sky and keep our helicopters flying 24 hours a day.

Britain's High Speed 2 rail project now costs $416 million per mile - giving it the dubious honor of being the world's most expensive railway project. And rail experts warn the current plan will lead to reduced capacity and higher fares.

A huge thank you and well done to the team from DMR Plumbing & Heating, and LPW Painters, who completed the Cholmondley Castles Tough Mudder - a 10 mile course! They raised over £500 towards our lifesaving service!

Time for a shower, guys!
