Ty Olwen volunteer Martin Mahoney, aged 63, from Waunarllwyd has just completed his 11th Cardiff Half Marathon and his 4th in aid of Ty Olwen. Martin who retired from the DVLA three years ago can be found most early mornings at the hospice doing odd jobs and working around the grounds and is a valued member of the volunteer force which contributes so much to daily life at Ty Olwen. This year he dedicated his half marathon run to friend Phil Crocker, who was under the care of the Specialist Palliative Care Team. Martin received great support from family, friends and members at the Cwmfelin Club, Penlan Social Club, as well Paul Kiley and the Wern Inn in Landore where Phil was an leading member of their charity club. Phil’s wife Helen returned to Ty Olwen for the first time today to present the sponsorship money of £1805 raised by the run to Ty Olwen Chairman Helen Murray.
