A double Welsh mountain climb by local fundraiser Mike Hamilton has raised vital funds for the Paul Sartori Foundation.

In September 2022, Mike, from Neyland, climbed both Cader Idris and Snowdon - equating to 6,490 feet of elevation - within two days.

He raised the brilliant sum of £1,223.75 for the Pembrokeshire hospice at home charity.

The charity provided care for Mike's wife in 2017 before she died and he and his family are forever grateful of the support that they received during this difficult time.

Mike said: “I would like to thank all my friends who sponsored and supported me though this extremely tough walk.

"The walking was a challenge but the aches and pains a few days later certainly let me know that I am not that young any more!”

Mandy Jones, Paul Sartori registered nurse, said: “We are very grateful to people like Mike, and our other fundraisers in Pembrokeshire that give up their time to do fundraising events for Paul Sartori.

"The money raised is used to provide hospice care within the homes of end-of-life patients in Pembrokeshire.

"Paul Sartori Foundation supports families to care for their loved ones at home with hands-on nursing care, equipment loan and other supportive services such as bereavement counselling, advance and future care planning and complementary therapies.

"Without the generosity of the people of Pembrokeshire, we would not be able to provide this very necessary service in the community.”
