The NFU Cymru staff team will complete a total of 10-miles each on Thursday, 9 September, along the coast in Pembrokeshire, in aid of the farming union’s chosen charity for 2010, The Stroke Association Wales.

Sarah Jones, NFU Cymru’s Public Relations Officer said, "We’re raising money for a good cause, so, to anyone following, please do give as generously as you can to help us hit our sponsorship target of £1,500.

"The Stroke Association Wales, provides a wide range of services, it is not just researching and preventing strokes, it also helps to rehabilitate people who have had a stroke and helps stroke patients directly through its community service which includes communication support, family and carer support and welfare grants."

Bridget Stadden, The Stroke Association’s Fundraising Manager for Wales said, "So far NFU Cymru staff and members have raised thousands of pounds for our charity and we are extremely grateful to them for this. I wish them the best of luck in completing their costal path walk."
