SIR, I would like to thank the patients and staff of Chippenham Surgery and residents of Monmouth for their overwhelming support and donations enabling me to raise £2,000 for Ty Hafan Childrens' Hospice in Cardiff. In particular, thanks to Miah from the Misbah, Evans of Monmouth and Roscoe, Rogers and Knight estate agency. I am training hard and still have seven weeks before the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April. The surgery raised an impressive £328 by hosting a three day cake sale and we hope to have an Easter event in early April.
