A CARDIGAN-based women’s fitness group has raised more than £5,000 for the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Glangwili Hospital by hosting an All Girl Tractor Run in July.

The Tractor Run - organised by the Cavegirl Fitness Training Group - started at Penfoel Farm and ended at the Railway Inn in Llanpumsaint.

It was held in aid of Hywel Dda Health Charities.

Participants enjoyed a hot drink and a bacon roll and had the opportunity to take part in a raffle.

The group presented a cheque for £5,056.60 to the unit earlier this month.

Lead Cancer Nurse Gina Beard said it was "an amazing sum of money" to raise.

"We are extremely grateful to the ladies from the Cavegirl Fitness Training Group," she said.

"We are so humbled when the public choose to support our health board charity and the services that are delivering cancer treatments.

"We are able to use the money to support a better patient experience.

"Monies raised in this way help fund resources such as helpful books and play therapy for children of people going through cancer treatment, improvements to the unit environment that make it a more comfortable place, and support pilots like the CaPS project which is providing psychological support to people affected by cancer and their carers and relatives.

"All of these would not be possible without amazing fundraisers like these ladies."

Hywel Dda Health Charities is the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board and aims to make a positive difference to the health and wellbeing of patients and staff across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
