FUW President names his charity

 

"I am assured by Cancer Research Wales that all money raised will be staying in Wales to fund pioneering research projects undertaken by internationally renowned scientists and PhD students," said Mr Jones.

 

The charity is currently funding a groundbreaking 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.

 

Its charity director Liz Andrews said: “It’s fantastic that the Farmers' Union of Wales has chosen to support Cancer Research Wales. We rely on volunteers and fundraisers to help us pay for vital research projects and all the money raised will help in the fight against cancer, here in Wales. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone involved.”

  

Mr Jones said he hoped that by the end of next year the total amount raised by FUW members and supporters will be at least as much as the £15,316 handed over last year to the Wales Air Ambulance charity by his predecessor Gareth Vaughan.
