Cath

Cath, who now works in the community respiratory team, worked on the Intensive Therapy Unit at RSH with Sharon for many years and, until recently, worked as a sister on ward 27 respiratory at RSH.

Cath, who in the past has shrunk from a size 22 to a 10, has condemned the rise in photoshopping.

Cath worked evenings and weekends in an attempt to catch up with her workload, every spare moment spent at the computer.

In shock Cath rang the maternity unit at Ormskirk Hospital who told her to come straight in.

The following year Cath, who works as a journalist, fell pregnant again.

After three miscarriages, a baby who was stillborn at 20 weeks, and tiny tot Hendrix who lived for just 12 hours after being born 14 weeks premature, heartbroken Cath had almost given up on having another child.

Raised as one of three children in Llantwit Major and Rhoose, Cath attended Eagleswell Primary School and Bryn Hafren Comprehensive.

The Cath Lab Suite, which includes the new labs, also boasts an eight-room Cardiac Patient Care Unit (CPCU), a physician reading room, nurses station, offices and a dedicated visitor waiting area.

Cath, from Merthyr Tydfil, completed the epic challenge of swimming the Channel in a time of 16 hours and 45 minutes, with no break from the water allowed.

Cath, a support care worker who specialises in working with deaf people in Cheshire, was inspired to spend 14 months volunteering to socialise and train Button to become a Hearing Dog for Deaf People (HDfDP).

Cath spends her free time getting involved in animal rights activism, blogging about crueltyfree living, and cuddling her adorable dog, Walter.

Cath added: "It could be something in the soil or it could be airborne, but we really have no idea.
