Braving the Shave for Ty Olwen

Alison Jones and her family visited Ty Olwen last week to present a donation of £4,000 raised in memory of her mother. Alison told the Chairman that when she gave birth to her son Alex, who has Downs Syndrome, she found out that her mother, Betty Evans, had been diagnosed with cancer. Betty passed away three months later and spent the end of her life at Ty Olwen where she was cared for so well and the family given so much help. When Alison was asked a few months ago if she would have her head shaved for charity, she immediately said yes as long as it was for Ty Olwen. Alison has worked really hard to raise the money and was overwhelmed by the support and generosity from everyone.
