Dewi said: âI feel very fortunate that at 90 years of age I am able to cycle at all, let alone cycle five miles. GREAT-granddad Dewi Griffiths got on his bike to celebrate his 90th birthday and support the local NHS. Sprightly Dewi cycled five miles around his home in St Clears to raise £2,500 for Cilgerran children s ward at Glangwili Hospital. And he chose the ward for a very good reason - he has 20 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren. Dewi said: “I feel very fortunate that at 90 years of age I am able to cycle at all, let alone cycle five miles, and to be able to collect money and donate to Cilgerran Ward makes it all worthwhile. “
It was the icing on the cake for Withybush Hospital when Haverfordwest resident Chloe Mannion raised £875 for the county hospital. Chloe, 22, who works as a porter at Withybush, is also a baker and so decided to hold a prize draw and raffle off some of her yummy cakes. She wants the money raised to be used towards iPads or cordless phones so that patients can communicate with their families when they are in hospital. Chloe ran the raffle through her Facebook page Chloe said: “Working as a porter in Withybush hospital during the pandemic, I know how much it can make a patient’s day if they get to speak to a member of their family, so I felt inspired to do something to try and raise money for iPads or cordless phones.
