Retired farmer Ceredig Davies opened up some of his land for car parking on Aberaeron Carnival day and raised a wheely great £500 for the Bronglais Chemo Appeal.
Ceredig said: “I own land at Drefnewydd Fawr, on the outskirts of Aberaeron, so on carnival day, August Bank Holiday Monday, I put up a sign saying people could park there for £5, with all money going to the appeal for a new chemotherapy day unit. I was on the gate collecting the money and am really pleased that £500 was raised.”

Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “We never cease to be amazed by the innovative ideas people come up with to raise money for our charity and we are grateful to Ceredig Davies for his support.
“We are delighted to report that the Appeal has now passed its target. However, given the current economic climate, we predict that construction costs will increase. Every penny raised, including future donations, will therefore go directly to the Appeal fund, with any surplus funds used to support those affected by cancer across Ceredigion and mid Wales.”
