Raising over £6,000 from walking the county areas and covering the Grand Union Canal Towpath in March has enabled Clive Lewis from Stonelea, New Hedges, to fund gifts for two hospitals and three clinics.

One gift was a blood machine for the Sunderland Ward at South Pembrokeshire Hospital in Pembroke Dock. This machine will help all patients on anti-coagulation therapy, while gifts were a special over 20 stone scales for the diabetes departments and a blood spinning centrifuge for the three clinics at the Argyle Medical Group in Pembroke Dock, Pembroke and Neyland.

Withybush Hospital will also benefit from Clive's voluntary work. He has recently purchased 30 nebulisers for respiratory patients, six blood pressure portable monitors for the cardiac rehabilitation units and a number of items for diabetes services.

Clive had now purchased in excess of 60 machines and auxiliary equipment, monitors and sensors since he set out on his first UK event some 30 years ago.

All things being equal, the walker is hoping to raise his target over the next six months to fund his 16th UK event for the late spring of 2012.
