Tilly's Story: Fighting Cancer and Giving Back
Cancer is a horrendous disease, but Tilly and her family proved that it's possible to beat it with grit and determination.
Tilly underwent many treatments, appointments, and hospital stays, but she emerged victorious. Throughout her journey, Tilly and her family received support from LATCH, a charity that helps families whose children are receiving cancer treatment at the Children's Hospital for Wales.
Grateful for the support they received, Tilly and her family decided to give back by organising a charity auction and raffle night to raise money for LATCH. They rented out the Strand Hall and invited the community to participate. The event was a success, and the community showed their generosity and support.
The auction and raffle night was held at the Strand Hall, which provided a perfect venue for the event. The community came together to support Tilly and her family's efforts to raise funds for LATCH. It was a heartwarming event, filled with laughter and a sense of community spirit.
“The venue was brilliant, and we had outstanding support from everyone involved.”
LATCH provides practical and emotional support to families from Chepstow in the South to Aberystwyth in the North. With 70 new cancer cases diagnosed in the region every year, LATCH's support is critical.
Tilly's story is one of resilience, gratitude, and community support. Cancer is a tough disease, but it's possible to beat it with the right mindset and support system. And when communities come together to support those in need, they can make a significant impact.
