What a novel fundraising idea by farmer Monica Davies who is holding a lamb auction to raise money for the Bronglais Chemo Appeal.
Monica is appealing for donations of lambs for the auction, which is being held during Aled Ellis’ sheep sale at the Lovesgrove mart site, near Aberystwyth, on Saturday, 8th October.
Monica said she wanted to raise money for the Appeal after spending several months having chemotherapy at Bronglais Hospital following a cancer diagnosis.
“I am grateful to Dr Elin Jones and her amazing staff for looking after me. The chemotherapy unit is close to my heart and I realise how important it is and how lucky we are to have such a unit at Bronglais Hospital,” added Monica, 58, who lives on the family farm in Llanilar.
“Now a more modern, purpose-built unit is needed, I wanted to help with the Appeal to give something back and say thank you.”
Any farmer who would like to donate a lamb is asked to contact Monica on 07792 188612.

The Bronglais Chemo Appeal aims to raise the final £500,000 needed for construction to start on a new, purpose-built chemotherapy day unit for Bronglais Hospital, to greatly improve the patient experience.
