Tenby’s Simon Rossiter and Chris Brace are pictured presenting Clare and Rachael from the Bloodwise charity with a cheque for the amazing sum of £14,590.

Simon said: “I am overwhelmed by the support, sponsorship and donations received. I am very grateful and so proud of Chris, my wife Debbie, my children, my family and many friends for all their achievements this year in support of Bloodwise. It has made facing cancer easier.”

Chris added: “One of the many highlights from the sporting events was the LCW Team Bloodwise when we all ran through Tudor Square, led by Debbie with our Bloodwise running shirts on, all about to complete the marathon and thus the Long Course Weekend. It was a very special moment that will live with us all forever.”

Clare commented: “On behalf of the Bloodwise charity, we cannot thank Chris and the very kind and generous people of Tenby enough for all your support. I know that Chris and Shelby Rossiter have a couple of future fundraising ideas up their sleeves, so we look forward to assisting them with those and once again thank you all so very much.”

FOOTNOTE: Chris said: “If you would like to raise money for the Bloodwise charity, join us on Boxing Day as part of the Bloodwise Boxing Day Swim Team. We would like as many adults and children to wear a Bloodwise t-shirt (not compulsory) and join us in the Bloodwise Boxing Day Swim team. We will meet on Boxing Day at 11 am under the Bloodwise banner. Let’s make it the biggest team that has ever entered a festive swim. We may even get in the Guinness Book of World Records! The Bloodwise t-shirts make great Christmas presents or stocking fillers and can be bought at https://shop.bloodwise.org.uk/shop/sports. The Boxing Day swim organisers have very kindly chosen Bloodwise as one of its four main charities for this year’s swim, so if you want to obtain a sponsorship form and raise money for the Bloodwise charity by taking a dip, then visit http://www.tenbyboxingdayswim.co.uk/sponsor-form/. Thanks Niffy and Jim.”
