THOUSANDS of pounds raised during a sponsored walk has helped with the purchase of two ambulatory infusion pumps for patients at the new Hereford Macmillan Renton Cancer Unit.
Freemasons Colin Tudor, his walking companion Ian Talboys, and trustee Cliff Burkett raised £3,600 during the hike across central Wales.
The trio presented the equipment to chemotherapy staff nurse Helen Blundell and Macmillan Cancer Support facilitator Alison Stemp.
Meanwhile, Freemason Colin Tudor has agreed to relate his experiences during his recent and successful course of cancer treatment to fellow patients about to commence their own treatment.
Alison Stemp describes Colin as “inspirational” and “an example to others”.
This donation is the latest in support of Hereford Hospital by Freemasons of the county.
