A Welshpool woman has handed £539.39 to charity after asking friends to donate money instead of buying presents for her 40th.
 
And she has been praised by the British Lung Foundation Wales who said one in five people in Wales has a lung condition.
 
Chris Mulholland, Head of BLF Wales, said: “The money that our supporters donate makes a real difference for people in Wales with lung conditions. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our supporters. So I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to Julia for her wonderful gift. It’s lovely that she has marked her special day by thinking of others. Her generosity really will help others to breathe more easily.”
