This year, my dad, Rennie, is celebrating his 80th birthday. For a long time now,
he’s needed a hip operation, and recently, he was told there’s a two-year wait. It’s
been tough for him, as he’s relying on two crutches and sometimes a wheelchair.
His days have become more challenging. It’s a huge contrast from the climber and
kayaker he once was. He’s always been a man of incredible strength and
adventure.
In 2023 he faced a major setback when he broke his neck after a fall, a result of
his limited mobility. But even then, his determination and resilience carried him
through an intense recovery. In record time he was back on his feet. However,
with his mobility continuing to decline and muscle strength weakening, it’s become
clear he needs the surgery sooner rather than later.
After much thought, he’s decided to go ahead with a private hip operation, which
comes at a cost. My dad is one of the most humble, generous, and selfless people
I know. As a missionary and care worker he’s devoted his life to helping others,
and asking for help isn’t something he’s ever found easy.
To help cover the cost, I’m running a print sale. I’d be so grateful if you could
consider supporting him, even in a small way. The prints feature some of my
favourite spots in Wales from the Brecon Beacons to West Wales. Maybe you can
guess where they are?
"Sugarloaf and Cotton Grass"
"Golden Brecon Beacons"
"Freshwater West Surf"
"Pembrokshire Sunset"
You’re welcome to purchase as many prints as you like, with sizes ranging from 12x8 inches (about A4) to 18x12 inches (about A3). If you'd like a larger size, feel free to reach out to me via my Facebook page (Lucy Gold Photographer) or Instagram (@lucygold). Postage is included in the price, so the more you buy the better for cost, and each photograph will be signed. I will contact you at the end of the fundraiser for postage details.
Thank you for considering supporting my dad in this way. Your help means the world to us.
