The team at the Old Railway Line Garden Centre has successfully embarked on their ambitious charity fundraiser, raising vital funds for #BeMoreFrank and the Ewings Sarcoma Research Trust.

Team One recently completed a gruelling 15-mile hike over Banana Brycheiniog, finishing their journey in nine-and-a-half hours.

So far, more than £3,000 has been raised, and Team Two is hoping to push the fundraising even further over the next week and during their challenge this Saturday.

Garden Retail Director, Liam Cleary, praised the team's efforts last weekend: "The determination and teamwork shown by Team One were amazing to see. We faced challenging conditions but were motivated by the cause and the incredible support from the generous people who have sponsored us. It’s heartening to see everyone come together for such worthy charities, and I’m confident Team Two will be successful in completing the challenge this Saturday too."

Marketing Director, Joe Aldworth added: "We are overwhelmed by the support and generosity we’ve received so far. The dedication and spirit of our team, coupled with the community’s contributions, are truly inspiring. We are excited to see Team Two take on the challenge and further our efforts for these incredible causes."

This year, Old Railway Line Garden Centre has chosen two significant charities to support, in honour of friends and families within the local community who are facing difficult battles.

#BeMoreFrank is a named fund of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust
#BeMoreFrank is a named fund of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust (.)

#BeMoreFrank is a special named fund of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, raising funds in Frank’s name to provide financial assistance to families with a child diagnosed with cancer. Your contribution can make a substantial difference to families enduring the toughest of times.

Ewings Sarcoma Research Trust (Bone Cancer Research Trust) aims to improve the treatment and outcomes for patients with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Each year, around 2,400 teenagers and young adults are diagnosed with cancer, with approximately 88 facing primary bone cancer. The impact of treatment adds to the complex challenges these young patients already face.
