Story

#TeamIrfon was launched in 2014 by CAMHS Nurse Manager, Irfon Williams. After starting treatment on the Alaw Cancer Unit in Ysbyty Gwynedd, Irfon decided to start a campaign to raise money for wigs for others receiving chemotherapy on the unit. As Irfon's treatment progressed, so too did his resolve to help other families affected by cancer. His campaign gathered momentum, touching the hearts of people in local communities and further afield. Just before he died from bowel cancer in 2017, Irfon and his many supporters had raised over £150k with the specific aim of providing improved services and facilities to help preserve peoples mental health as they face a cancer diagnosis, or loss of a family member. Irfon's legacy lives on, and his wife Becky now oversees #TeamIrfon alongside Manon, a Matron from cancer services. Becky and Manon, along with NHS staff and volunteers, ensure that donations given to #TeamIrfon continue to help local people in the way that Irfon always wished.
