Money has been raised in memory of a man with the "biggest heart" who opened up his home to vulnerable children for years following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Alan 'Barney' Gardner, 54, tragically passed away on February 7 following a battle with oesophageal cancer.
Described by his partner Claire as "the bravest man I've ever known", Barney, who lived in Meliden, Wales, was a long-term supporter of North Wales' Chernobyl Lifeline charity and took in a child for a month each year following the Ukrainian nuclear disaster, North Wales Live writes.
