Rugby stars raise £300,000 for Wales Cancer Bank
Research into lung cancer has been given a boost by the fundraising of a group of former Wales rugby players.
£300,000 of the money raised by their 'Captain's Climb' of Mount Kilimanjaro will be used to help build a collection of cancer cells to study.
"It's great work being taken on by so many talented and dedicated people here, and I'm just delighted to be playing a small part in the whole affair" said Bob Norster.
"It was a big mountain for us to climb, but not half as big as the mountains cancer patients have to climb" Emyr Lewis added.
