Huw Williams decided to hire a barge on the 19th August to celebrate his retirement as a teacher and very kindly asked for donations to the charity from his guests. He raised a wonderful £183.00 and had a great time in the process!

“The event was to celebrate my retirement as a Primary School Teacher In Cynlais Primary School Ystradgynlais Swansea. I decided to charter a river barge called the Black Prince and sailed out of Swansea Marina and up the River Tawe as far as the Swansea City Football Stadium called the Liberty Stadium. I asked all my guests for a donation to your charity and am pleased to say we raised £183.00. This money is on its way to you by post.

I lost my wife suddenly to a cardiac arrest in 2007 and have two children that have been screened by yourselves in Pontypridd South Wales. I will be looking to have them screened again when you next visit this area. Since losing my lovely wife so suddenly and tragically I have been very aware of the need to have young people regularly screened and view your charity as providing a very important role. I wanted to show my appreciation and hope the money will come in handy

I have attached a picture of myself on the boat. Everybody had to wear something yellow!! my favourite colour.”
