Family and friends of a cyclist who was horrifically injured whilst out training for Ironman Wales last summer have raised £1,475 for the Welsh Air Ambulance.

Jason Hitchen, a member of Tenby Aces, his wife Sarah and daughter Ella, visited the air ambulance base in Llanelli to make the presentation and thank the staff who helped save Jason’s life when he was airlifted to hospital.

The money, which will pay for one mission, was raised when friends and family took part in Saundersfoot’s New Year’s Day Swim.
