ON FRIDAY, July 17, the Thyroid Cancer Support Group Wales (TCSGW)

held their annual fundraising Summer Party Night at the Function Room, Seashore Café Bar and Grill, Swanbridge.

This was the seventh time that this event has been held - as always it was a fantastic evening’s entertainment.

There were 75 guests who enjoyed a superb buffet (catered by Jamie, Ian and the staff of the Seashore) and outstanding entertainment provided by Bob Sax.

The event was generously sponsored by McDonald’s Barry and Fordthorne Motor Park, Cardiff.

As a group we thank them most sincerely for their support in our fundraising efforts. Their help is greatly appreciated and certainly makes a huge difference to our fundraising efforts.

We are all volunteers and every endeavour is made to raise funds for the challenges that we have set ourselves as a group.

We fund the iNATT project based at Velindre Cancer Centre Cardiff and also we work hard to improve the quality of life for thyroid cancer patients, whilst also offering support to their families at a most challenging time.

TCSGW is a self help support group who meet regularly at Velindre Cancer Centre, Cardiff with the aim of supporting patients who have this rare form of cancer.

We are the only designated registered charity in the whole of Wales supporting thyroid cancer.

Sincere thanks to everyone who attended the event and to the Seashore Grill for their generous support of the evening.

We also extend thanks to Morrisons Store Barry Waterfront, Tesco Stirling Road Barry, She Wears It Well High Street, Little Blue Deli High Street, Butterflies High Street and Waitrose Barry along with the many individuals for kindly supporting this event with prizes for the raffle.
