Fundraiser Sam Faulkner has completed his 87,000 step challenge and has raised an incredible £2,609 for the Acute Cardiac Care Unit at Withybush Hospital.
Sam completed the challenge in July when he walked along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal from Brecon to Rogerstone in Newport in memory of his father. This was Sam’s second fundraiser for the unit which provided care to his Dad during his last few days.
Sam said: “It was an honour to once again raise funds for the Acute Cardiac Care Unit at Withybush Hospital in memory of my Dad and in recognition of the exceptional care given to him by the lovely staff on the unit during his last few days. We as a family will be forever grateful to the unit for their kindness and I look forward to continuing to raise more money for them in future!”
Katie Hancock, Pembrokeshire Fundraising Officer, said: “We’d like to say well done to Sam for completing his challenge. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to once again raise funds for the Acute Cardiac Care Unit.”
“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.”
