A local community group in Tumble, Cyfle I Bawb, chose British Heart Foundation Cymru as their charity and raised £200 to help BHF beat heartbreak forever.

Pat Gilbert, Chairman of the group, said: "I was so delighted to support BHF Cymru and a big thank you to all the members who helped and supported this good cause."

Jayne Lewis Fundraising Manager South West Wales added: "It was a pleasure to meet the group Cyfle I Bawb, who meet at Tumble Hall, and to thank them for all their help and support they have given to BHF Cymru.

"I would also like to say a big thank you to Janice Petche, a member of the group who nominated BHF Cymru."

Each day in Wales, 25 people lose their lives to cardiovascular disease which can devastate those they leave behind. BHF Cymru is funding pioneering research, central to discovering vital treatments for people living with these conditions. Too many lives are lost in Wales each year, and we’re determined to do everything we can to protect more families from this devastation. Around 375,000 people across Wales this month are fighting a daily battle with heart and circulatory disease. Each year these devastating conditions claim the lives of more than 750 people per month in Wales alone and thanks to the members of Cyfle I Bawb we’ll be able to fund even more research into these conditions.”
