Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies took to the tennis court at the weekend to support Denbigh Tennis Club's 12-hour tennis marathon in aid of Dementia UK.
Commenting after the event, James said:
“I was very pleased to attend this fantastic fundraising event for such a worthwhile cause and to knock a few balls over the net!
“Dementia has now overtaken Covid and re-established itself as the leading cause of death in England and Wales. Having personal family experience of dementia and as a former clinical champion for dementia, I know only too well how important it is that we find a cure.
“All fundraising efforts are therefore greatly needed and I commend Denbigh Tennis Club for taking on this challenge. The weather was extremely warm on Saturday and it can’t have been easy playing tennis for 12 hours in such heat, but they achieved their goal and I know that the more than £2,000 they raised for Dementia UK will be greatly appreciated by the charity.”
