North Wales woman raises £5,500 for cancer charity

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Cath Jones has raised more than £5,500 for Macmillan Cancer Support by baking her late mother's bara brith at annual coffee mornings. Each slice carries a special memory of her mother, Isobel Taylor, who died from cancer in August last year, aged 79.

Ms Taylor's cancer began with a growth on her arm before spreading under her armpit and to her leg. The diagnosis to death took about two years. Ms Jones said her mother received great support from Macmillan through phone calls and advice, and that the charity helped her mother die at home rather than in hospital, which was her wish.

Ms Jones, who works as a personal assistant in the conveyancing team at Swayne Johnson, said holding the coffee mornings now feels extra significant. She intends to continue raising money for Macmillan at future events, with her mother in mind.
