Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and to everyone who has given so generously so far.

On 15th August 2016, my husband Pete Alner was diagnosed with primary lung cancer and a secondary brain tumour. Pete died at The Marie Curie Hospice, Cardiff and the Vale (formerly Holme Towers, Penarth.)

Pete and I had been together, inseparable, for 32 years. He was a great guy - he loved Rugby... more rugby, walking the hills and coasts of South Wales, music (particularly The Divine Comedy), art, theatre, and - best of all - a pint of Real Ale, poured flat just as it should be!

To try and salvage something positive from what is a truly terrible situation, a few of Pete's family and friends have come together to form a small fundraising group – Pete's Flatbeer Fundraisers.

We have run a number of fun (and slightly crazy!) events and challenges and have set up this JustGiving page to raise as much money as we can to support our local Hospice. Please, please join us and donate whatever you can in memory of my Pete and to support this amazing place - where we were both cared for with such love , dignity and respect at the very bleakest of times.

The Flatbeer Fundraisers are: Dewi Richards (a Personal Trainer working at Longhill Leisure Centre in Brighton), Pamela Jones (a health care support worker from Marie Curie, Cardiff and the Vale), Tom Wentworth (a writer) and 2 actors - Caroline Bunce and me, Ri Richards.

Please feel free to contact us on petesflatbeerfundraisers@gmail.com

Thank you, thank you so much!

Love, Ri
