Running for charity
Running for charity really feels like you're part of something. I feel like there are thousands of us with the same thing in common.

Running for a charity is an amazing thing to do.
Knowing your run has helped others, gives a huge boost to the satisfaction you’ll feel on finishing the race. You’ll also be more highly motivated during your training and the race itself. Since the first Cardiff Half Marathon in 2003 over 500 charities and good causes have benefited from the race and the amount raised grows rapidly every year!
You can run for whichever charity you choose.
Remember to inform the charity you’ve chosen that you’re running for them in the Cardiff Half Marathon. They will give you your official sponsorship forms, details of how to pay in the money raised and specialist help and support.

Good luck with your fundraising - the charity you have chosen needs your help!
How your sponsorship money can change lives
Barnardo’s is one of the UK’s leading children’s charities. If you run for Barnardo’s you’ll receive a range of benefits and goodies including a running vest and post-race reception. You’ll also be transforming vulnerable children’s lives.
You could help children like Kara
Kara, at just 15 years old, gets up hours before school starts to look after her mum, who has Multiple Sclerosis and her stepfather, who is wheelchair bound.
Barnardo's Caerphilly project has given Kara a lifeline. She now has people to lean on when the going gets tough and can spend time with other children who know what she’s going through. Kara says 'I knew there was always someone at the project to talk to me and back me'.
