The first fund-raising event for Farmers’ Union of Wales president Emyr Jones’ chosen charity - Cancer Research Wales - was a roaring success with more than £2,000 raised.

Around 100 FUW members and supporters of all ages took part in a three-mile walk at Morfa Farm, Llanrhystud, Ceredigion, and at the end many lit a candle in memory of their loved ones.

“This was our first fund-raising event and it was lovely to see old friends and a few new faces who wanted to come out and support the charity on the day,” said Mr Jones.

“I wish to thank everyone who took part and made the day so special for the union and Cancer Research Wales.

“We are looking forward to many more fund-raising events over the next year and hope to have as much support for those as we have had for this one ,” added Mr Jones.
