What an achievement, da iawn a diolch yn fawr Marc! 👏🏻

💥 A massive shout out to Marc Hughes, New Quay, Ceredigion, aged 62, who had his prostate removed two years ago. Incredibly, he recently shore 644 sheep in one day and donated his earnings (£867) to Prostate Cymru. 🥵
Marc completed Tenby Ironman 5 years ago whilst also raising money for charity. 💪
He is not only super human, he is also super generous.
Diolch yn fawr Marc. ❤️

We’re absolutely over the moon to have raised over £4,000 on our JustGiving page alone!

That incredible total doesn’t even include the fantastic support we've received through business sponsorship, donations on the day, and the generosity of our local community.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, sponsored, shared our posts, or come along to support us. Every single contribution has made a difference.

The money raised will help two incredible charities, Air Ambulance Wales and Prostate Cymru, continue their life-saving and life-changing work, particularly for our rural farming communities.

We still have a few donations to come in, so our total is still rising. Keep an eye on our page over the next few weeks as we'll be announcing the final fundraising total!

The shearing challenge may be over, but the reason behind it remains.

We did it to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer and the incredible work of Air Ambulance Wales. For those of us living and working in rural communities, especially farmers, their service can mean the difference between life and death when every minute counts.

Don't just support the cause—get checked.

And if you're able, please continue to support the charities that support our communities.

A message from the winner of our ‘Guess the amount of sheep’ competition 🫶

Hello
Thank you, if they’d only done three more 🤣 I’d have been bang on. I’d like you to donate it to the cause on my behalf please. You’ve all done such an amazing job, for such an important cause, most of us have been touched by this in one way or another in our lifetime.
Regards
Lynda (Richards)
