THANK YOU AND WELL DONE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!!!
Read our previous story below:
In 2015 with a great team of friends named Bertha's Army we pledged to raise £10,000.00 for Better Life Appeal, Llandough Hospital.
The Better Life Appeal supports the All Wales Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre caring for 300+ patients. The appeal desperately needs £1.3M (and rising) to refurbish a CF specialist in patient ward. Currently there are only seven bedrooms all of which share one bathroom. This is madness given the danger of cross infection between CF patients. Sadly its the only CF ward in the UK where this still happens.
The £1.3M will equip 16 ensuite rooms giving CF patients the specialist facilities they deserve to lead a better quality of life.
We accepted the challenge and in just 9 months smashed the £10,000.00 target! We are currently on £20,000.00+
The fundraising has been a little daunting at times but mainly bonkers, fun and rewarding! Why should we stop now, we look forward to having you onboard. Many thanks, Beth, Ceri, Hayley & Jackie and the rest of the forever growing team x
