We hope this beautiful Welsh gold necklace will help generate significant support for the raffle and encourage people to get behind the charity's vital work."

A proud Welsh speaker and doctor in training, Millie-Mae also founded Exeter Street Doctors - a charity equipping young people with lifesaving first aid skills.

She said: "As a proud ambassador of the charity, it is my privilege to play my part in Cancer Research Wales's 60th anniversary and be here today to unveil the first prize in the 60 Anniversary Diamond Raffle – a stunning, diamond-set gold necklace, generously donated by Clogau.

"Since 1966, we have invested £41.68 million to push the boundaries of cancer research discoveries here in Wales and we couldn't have done that without the kindness of the Welsh public and our fantastic business community. Thank you for your support over the years and together we will unite Wales against cancer."
