Family raise vital funds for two charities in memory of father

A charity run and raffle has raised money for Mind and Kidney Care THE FAMILY of an Ammanford mum has helped raise money for two vital charities as a tribute to their father who died earlier this year. Kenneth Dewsbury died following a battle with kidney renal disease on the day before coronavirus lockdown restrictions began. His relatives could not give him the send-off they wanted to at the time, so two of them took on the Cheshire 10k at Arley Hall on October 18. Kenneth’s daughter, Lauren Dewsbury, from Ammanford said: “We couldn’t have the funeral that we wanted him to have because of the Covid restrictions so we decided to do this instead.”

The current European Health Insurance Card (Ehic) scheme will expire at 11pm on New Year’s Eve. But kidney patients who need dialysis, people requiring regular oxygen therapy and cancer sufferers undergoing some types of chemotherapy should continue to get free treatment during 2021 for trips of up to six weeks. The Ehic has allowed 30,000 kidney patients to travel in the European Economic Area (the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) and Switzerland and receive their dialysis free of charge.

The government is to cover the cost of EU holiday healthcare for people who require routine hospital treatment such as dialysis and chemotherapy in the event there is no Brexit deal to replace the European Health Care Insurance Scheme (EHIC). The arrangements will last for 12 months from 1 January 2021. The scheme has been welcomed by Kidney Care UK, which has been campaigning for health insurance cover for kidney patients who need daily treatment and faced prohibitively expensive travel insurance next year.
