The group travelled over three days from Stourport to the Prom in Aberystwyth on motorcycles.
Andy Evans, member of the Stourport Chunky Monkeys, said: “The Stourport Chunky Monkeys are a group of around 50 men that ride monkey bikes from the town of Stourport on Severn.
“This year, we decided to raise money for the children’s ward at Bronglais Hospital. We have previously raised money for the breast cancer ward, Aberystwyth RNLI and many more Welsh charities. We alternate every year with a charity from our hometown and local area and a charity around Aberystwyth.
“We would like to thank everyone that makes us feel welcome on our annual trip and to everyone that has supported us with their generosity. We would also like to thank the Four Seasons Hotel for accommodating so many of us every year.”
Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “We’d like to say a massive thank you to the Stourport Chunky Monkeys for making the incredible effort to ride from Stourport to Aberystwyth to raise funds for our charity.
“The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
