Congratulations to Mel on his successful walk to the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada Earlier in the year, we appealed in the newsletter for support for Mel Hopkins, one of our parishioners, who was raising funds for Velindre Cancer Care by walking to the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the Granada region of Spain. Mel successfully completed the walk last Sunday. It is not too late to support Mel with a donation to this cause – just click on his Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/mel-hopkins-1
