The Colorectal Team at Hywel Dda University Health Board organised a charity walk and wellness day and raised £1,000 for Colorectal Services.
The fundraiser took place on 13th April 2024 at Dinefwr Park to mark Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
Over 100 patients, families, friends and staff took part to raise funds for future support groups and wellbeing days for colorectal patients as well as useful equipment.
Michelle Whittal-Williams, Macmillan Colorectal Cancer Support Worker, said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Dinefwr National Trust for the wellbeing access pass which supports this initiative.
“During the walk Carol Bailey, Carmarthenshire Ranger, provided an interesting historical information about Dinefwr.
“We look forward to continuing to work with the National Trust, who provide invaluable support to our patients by providing the wellbeing access pass.”
Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “We’d like to say a big thank you to Michelle and the colorectal team for their fundraising, and to Dinefwr National Trust for helping make this possible.
“The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
