Many thanks go to Chris Trueman from Milford Haven, who recently donated £2005 to Pembrokeshire Cancer Services, Withybush Hospital.

Chris took on a huge personal challenge this year and completed the Manchester Marathon, Long Course Weekend (2.4m sea swim on Friday / 112mi bike on Saturday / full marathon on Sunday) and Ironman Wales on September 9.

Chris decided he wanted to raise money for Ward 10 and the Pembrokeshire Haematology Oncology Day Unit to say thank you for the exceptional care and support they had given to his mum Sylvia Trueman and mother-in-law, Gill Burgoyne.

Chris and his wife Kate were overwhelmed by the support of the local community, with donations being received by their local rugby club, cake sales, slimming groups, work colleagues, sponsor forms and his online giving page.

Helen Johns, Senior Sister, said: “Thank you so much to Chris for training and completing these challenges and raising a huge amount of money for Pembrokeshire Cancer Services. The £2005 that Chris has raised will be used to enhance the care provided for cancer patients in Pembrokeshire. This donation will ensure that patients, their families and staff can access a wide range of specialist services and equipment beyond what the NHS can currently provide. Thank you so much to Chris and everyone who supported him.”
