Mumbles Triathlon Relay Team!

Jenny Davies, Catherine Goss and myself are completing Mumbles
Triathlon as a relay team in aid of South West Wales Motor Neuron Disease fund
(YK63) which is part of Swansea Bay Health Charity.

This fund provides proactive care and support to help manage the
physical, psychological and emotional challenges that comes with the
diagnosis.  They run monthly clinics where patients can see all the
healthcare professionals they need all in one place.

From the money raised, they can purchase aids for independent and
daily living, resources for health and wellbeing, information and support days
and allow the team to research new projects to promote living well with MND.

After losing both my mum and grandmother to this cruel disease,
I hope any amount we raise will help the team to continue the amazing work they
do for patients in Swansea Bay University Health Board.

About the Charity................

We are Swansea Bay Health Charity, the official charity of
Swansea Bay University Health Board. We support patients, staff and services
within Swansea Bay University Health Board, managing around 265 funds for
equipment, research, training and patient care. We don't replace NHS funding
but use the generous donations received from patients, their families, staff
and local communities to provide above and beyond what the NHS can
provide. 

From generous donations,
we have purchased more comfortable chemotherapy chairs for our patients, funded
wellbeing days for our staff to take some time for themselves, therapy pets for
our dementia patients and toiletries, nightwear and slippers for patients who
are admitted to hospital unexpectedly and don't have family to bring supplies
that they need for their stay.
