The Farmers’ Union of Wales is kick-starting the fundraising events planned for its president’s chosen charity - Cancer Research Wales - with a memory walk on a Ceredigion farm on Saturday November 5.
FUW members and members of the public are invited to take part in the three-mile walk at Morfa Farm, Llanrhystud, starting at 1.30pm.
“This is our first fundraising event and I am looking forward to welcoming family and friends of the union and others wanting to raise money for the charity,” said FUW president Emyr Jones.
“Cancer Research Wales relies on volunteers and fundraisers to help pay for vital research projects and all the money raised will help in the fight against cancer, here in Wales. This is why we are asking participants to raise a minimum of £5 for the charity on this occasion.
“At the end of the walk we will be lighting a candle in memory of those who have lost the fight against cancer,” added Mr Jones.
The charity is currently funding a ground-breaking project looking at ways to stop breast and prostate tumours - the two most common cancers affecting men and women in Wales - spreading to other parts of the body.
Based at Velindre Hospital in Cardiff, the charity supports projects across Wales.
