Macmillan Cancer Support are thrilled to announce the new Rhondda Walk 2009!
This brand new 11 mile walk, co-organised by Macmillan and Jeff Cowland, who originally thought of the walk and is a Rhondda Cynon Taf Council employee, will take place on Saturday 5 September 2009 starting by Treherbert Rugby Club at 9am, and finishing at the Rhondda Heritage Park, travelling through Treorchy, Tonypandy and Porth on the way.
There is no need to panic, the green-haired ‘aliens’ currently walking from Hirwaun via Aberdare to Abercynon are friendly!
And they are raising lots of hard cash for Macmillan Cancer Care Support as part of the annual Macmillan Walk.
Please feel free to liberate all spare change in your pockets, purses, piggy banks… it’s all for a good cause.

Pirates took over the reception for the Outpatients Clinic at Aberdare Hospital on Friday.
They were raising money in aid of the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
Congratulations to staff at Aberdare Hospital for being such good sports.
The pirates certainly cheered the waiting patients.
Val’s annual coffee morning in aid of Save the Children was a great success this year.
The coffee morning event was held recently at St Fagan’s Church Hall, Trecynon, Aberdare.
There were delicious cakes sold, along with a bric-a-brac sale, raffle, and of course tea and coffee served all to raise money for Save the Children charity.
Congratulations to all those involved in organising this event.

The TooGoodToWaste charity re-distributes donated furniture back into the community through showrooms based in Ferndale and Aberdare, and through regular roadshow events where the charity brings its furniture to various locations throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf, giving more people in the community an opportunity to access their quality affordable furniture.
The great thing about toogoodtowaste is that customers can purchase stylish recycled furniture at affordable prices and help the community and the environment whilst doing so.
Everyone is Welcome
For the first time, the roadshows can be accessed by all members of the public in Rhondda Cynon Taf, and not just those in receipt of a qualifying benefit. These include Capel Farm on December 15th. For any further enquiries please contact toogoodtowaste on 01443 733600.
