Six friends are walking 50 miles in memory of a Cwmbran businessman who passed away from cancer.
Steve Turzynski ran an accountancy firm in Old Cwmbran and died in 2024.
The group plans to walk from Brecon to Cwmbran along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal over two days (5/6 April) to raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre.
Paul, Steve’s son, said on the JustGiving page for the event said: “My late father Steve has had various types of cancer over the last five years and through many treatments he lived his life a little longer.
“A special thank you to all the staff at Cardiff Velindre Hospital who looked after him so well.
“Money raised for Velindre Charity helps fund groundbreaking research and clinical trials, cutting edge treatments, specialist nurses, support services, therapies, equipment and so much more which are above those provided by the NHS – so donations really do have a significant impact on patients and their families.
“Your donation will allow Velindre to continue to provide Hope for the future.”
The friends thanked staff at the Mount Pleasant pub on Wesley Street for organising a raffle.
