Cyclists taking on Three peaks challenge to raise funds for Boxing Club
A GROUP of Pembrokeshire cyclists are currently taking on the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge in order to raise funds for Pembroke Dock ABC.
On Saturday, June 25, six people, who belong to the Pembrokeshire Velo Cycling Club, will be walking the highest peaks in Wales, Pen y fan, Snowdon and Caer Idris.
And if that wasn’t hard enough the group will be cycling between the peaks and aim to have finished their mammoth journey in 18 hours.
The money raised will go to Pembroke and Pembroke Dock ABC Great Britain Disability Boxing who put on a FREE Inclusive Boxing club for children and adults with disabilities and adaptive needs.
It will help the club to buy specialist equipment which will enable them to carry out their sessions.
50% of donations will also go to Dementia UK, a national charity that aims to improve the quality of life for people with dementia.
Anyone wishing to donate can do so by going to the link to their crowdfunding page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sd-newbery-1?utm_id=107&utm_term=w56eGgaBq&fbclid=IwAR0JxRtKx97Wx9WBJOWrnKVmISmr13nKcBpecRFfSOvowo2CQ9m6GgZj8hg&fs=e&s=cl
A WALES fan has passed away while following his team with his friends and family at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Kevin Davies, a 62-year-old from Pembrokeshire, has sadly died while in the Middle East with his son and some pals to witness Wales’ first World Cup campaign since 1958.
The Pembrokeshire Herald understands that Mr Davies died of natural causes on Friday but he was not at the stadium to watch Wales’ 2-0 defeat by Iran.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it was “supporting the family of a British man who has died in Qatar”.
His family is being offered UK consular assistance.
The Wales Football Supporters’ Group said: “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Kevin Davies, of Pembrokeshire, who sadly passed away in Doha yesterday.
“The Red Wall are a family and we are here for you.”
