Charity cyclists have raised the wheely wonderful total of £5,688.46 in memory of Roger Smith.

Roger, who worked at Folly Farm, passed away from a heart condition last April , aged just 39.

His family and friends organised a 17-mile sponsored bike ride, starting and finishing at Folly Farm, which attracted generous support.

Yesterday (Sunday), the money was presented to two charities at the Angel Inn, Narberth by Roger's parents, Brian and Ann Smith, his sister Hazel Evans and brother David Smith.

Julie Phillips accepted a cheque for £2844.23 on behalf of the British Heart Foundation, Narberth branch, while Bryn, Paul and Dominic received £2844.23 for Narberth's First Responder.

Greg Morris, Jeremy Lewis, Ally Mills and Roger's family would like to thank all those involved in the bike ride, and to those who gave so generously.
