Golfers have raised £1,000 to say thank you to a charity that supported a popular Welshpool woman through her cancer treatment.

In January this year, mum-of-two Kate Gill died peacefully at home from cancer. She was 42.

Her brother-in-law and Welshpool Golf Club Captain Clive Jones said the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund is very close to the hearts of many at the Club, especially his family.

“We lost my sister-in-law Kate Gill to cancer earlier this year, she was treated at the Centre and we wanted to do something to say thank you for the care given.

“I’m delighted we’ve raised this money for the charity and I want to say a big thank you to everyone at Welshpool Golf Club for their kind and generous donations,” he added.

Welshpool Golf Club members raised the money from collection boxes in the Clubhouse, the Captain’s Day, and from penalty payments for balls falling in the Captain’s pond on the 9th hole.

Lou Childs, from Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, said a very big thank you to everyone involved.

The money will go towards the current appeal to fund a new CT Scanner in the Centre, which will enable more patients to be seen in the cancer centre at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on a daily basis.

Lingen Davies Cancer Fund is a charity committed to supporting active cancer treatment for people in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and mid Wales.
