Llanelli Rotary member's bike ride fund-raiser

One of Llanelli Rotary Club’s newest members has helped raise more than £3,000 by completing a marathon cycle ride.
Rotarian Mark Evans joined a team of cyclists who completed 100 miles from Sophia Gardens in Cardiff to Tenby as part of the Carten 100 Cycle Challenge.
Mark was joined on the ride by Craig Tout, of Llanelli Round Table, Kim Griffiths and Matt Stephens.
The cyclists were raising cash for Llanelli Rotary Club’s HARK appeal which aims to donate a mobile audiology (hearing) unit to the University of Education in Winneba, Ghana.
The unit will be used to hold clinics deep in the Ghana countryside to help deaf children improve their hearing and speech.
When asked how the ride went, Rotarian Mark replied that he hoped it would become an annual event.
Matt Stephens, son of Rotarian Roger Stephens, commented “What time do we start back to Cardiff?"
Anyone who wishes to contribute to Rotary’s HARK appeal should contact Llanelli Rotary Club secretary Anthony Jones on 01554 752884

Wishing you well: Llanelli Rotary Club members turned out to wish Rotarian Mark Evans well as he passed through Llanelli.
