Dai Roberts, from Carmarthenshire, was killed on Saturday, May 24, having been involved in a crash while taking part in the Jim Clark Rally in the Scottish Borders. Emergency services were called to the crash site that morning but Mr Roberts, who was 39, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was co-driver in the rally car, while the driver, James Williams, was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. To make matters even more tragic for the Roberts family, Dai's brother Gareth also died while rallying in Sicily 13 years ago. Stay informed on Carms news by signing up to our newsletter here . In the wake of Mr Roberts' death last month, a fundraising page was set up in order to raise 'as much as possible for the funeral and on-going support for Dai's wife and children'. Incredibly, more than £100,000 was raised to help Mr Roberts' family in less than two days, while now, less than two weeks later, the total stands at £147,855. Motorsport journalist Luke Barry wrote on the website Dirtfish: 'It never, ever gets any easier. It never, ever feels fair. But for a family that has gone through so much pain, the heartbreaking loss of Dai Roberts has been particularly tough to take. 'The impact he made on the rallying community is immeasurable, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, professionalism and, above all, kindness.

Even when he didn't have time to speak to you, he made time to speak to you. 'The outpouring of emotion and online tributes since the heartbreaking news speak volumes. Dai improved lives. Dai was a winner on the special stages, but more importantly a winner in life.'

Co-driver Rob Fagg said: 'Dai as we walked back this morning (Saturday) from collecting our time cards, laughing and joking I didn't ever expect that to be the last time. One of the best in the seat, great friend in the sport over many, many years of competition. You will be missed by so many my friend.' Fellow Welsh rally driver Meirion Evans said: 'It's hard to know what to say, something like this hits hard and it still feels a bit numb. But there aren't many like Dai. 'A proper co-driver, driver, decent footballer, all round competitor and one of the most determined and strong people I have ever come across. My thoughts go out to the entire Roberts family.' Andy Davies, a British rally driver and close friend of Mr Roberts, said: 'Still struggling to process and acknowledge the reality of this. The world can be so damn cruel. 'Never more than a phone call away, Dai stepped up when I needed it most. He always had the answers. Someone I always had the utmost respect for, and someone I was lucky to call a friend. 'A life lived, a mark left on the world for so many. We all have a story about Dai. I'll look back on the memories, and miss you so very much.'

Could weight loss jabs raise your risk of getting cancer?
Doctors have said there is a risk that weight loss jabs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro could raise the risk of being diagnosed with kidney cancer. A new major study has suggested the risk of getting kidney cancer could be slightly elevated for those who are using the weight loss medication. But medical experts say the risk of catching other obesity-related cancers is still lowered by using the jabs, meaning that for many, the benefits of taking the medication may still outweigh the risk. The statistics have come as a result of the world's largest study of weight-loss drug users, with experts studying a total of 86,000 obese or overweight patients and tracking their progress for up to a decade. See also: What are the most concerning effects of Ozempic? Researchers found users had a 17 per cent lower risk of being diagnosed with a total of 16 cancers when taking weight loss medication. This was compared to people of similar weight who did not take the drugs. The risk of being diagnosed with endometrial cancers was reduced by 15 per cent and ovary cancer was reduced by 47 per cent. But the findings revealed that patients who took weight loss medications were in fact a third more likely to be diagnosed with kidney cancer. One of the experts in the study, Dr Hao Dai, a health data scientist at Indiana University who led the research, has since stressed that the study was observational and did not prove that weight loss drugs like Ozempic cause kidney cancer. Kidney cancer is often called a 'silent' cancer because it can grow without causing obvious symptoms in its early stages. The scientists in the study recruited 43,000 patients who were on weight loss drugs, and matched them to 43,000 control patients who were not put on the medication. The participants had an average age of 52 and nearly seven in 10 were female. None of those involved had a cancer diagnosis at the start of the study and half of the 43,000 patients given the drugs were being treated for type 2 diabetes, while half took them purely for weight loss. Over an average of three years, researchers recorded 1,900 cases of 16 different cancers in the group. For kidney cancer specifically, there were 83 cases recorded among patients on GLP-1 drugs compared to 58 cases in the control group. Researchers said they plan to keep tracking the patients for longer to confirm the data and will be reliving further into analysing the results to look for trends. Researcher Dr Dai continued: 'We need to do another observational study to confirm that these drugs increase the risk. But from my point of view, it might be that the drugs raise the risk of some types of kidney cancer. We don't know, however, and need to do more research.' Other doctors have also said these results do not provide a stable link to an increase in kidney cancer just yet. Dr Neil Iyengar, an onoclogist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York who was not involved in the latest study, told the Daily Mail that he 'didn't fully buy' the potential link with kidney cancers, highlighting that other research has shown GLP-1 drugs actually protect against kidney cancer. He said: 'The issue is that we're still at a very early stage gathering GLP-1 data which will give us mixed result. 'We do need more data to address this potential kidney cancer issue, however.' The findings were laid bare at the American Clinical Society of Oncology's annual conference in Chicago, Illinois, the largest cancer conference in the world.

James Williams Rallying pays tribute to Dai Roberts
James Williams of Newcastle Emlyn and Dai Roberts, 39, from Carmarthen, were involved in a crash during the Jim Clark Rally, near Duns in the Scottish Borders, on Saturday May 24. Tragically Dai did not survive his injuries while James, 27, was taken to hospital with critical injuries that were not life-threatening. James Williams Rallying has posted a tribute to Dai, as well as an update into James' condition in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Hospital. 'Our hearts are with the Roberts family,' said the tribute posted on Facebook. 'Dai was a deeply loved member of our rallying family and the rallying community across the world. 'He was not only a co-driver to James, but a best friend, a pivotal part of our family-run team, and a loving and devoted husband and father. His warmth, humour and passion touched everyone who knew him and love that transcended motorsport.' The post sent love and support to Dai's family and to 'everyone who was lucky enough to know and love Dai'. 'He will always be with us in our hearts and in our stories,' it read. 'We will all step-up for the Roberts family, the way Dai always showed up for so many on so many occasions.' James from Newcastle Emlyn has undergone successful surgery at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. He is now stable, able to communicate and slowly gaining strength with each passing day. 'He has received incredible care from the emergency services and hospital team, for which we are endlessly grateful,' said the James Williams Rallying team. 'While there is still a long journey ahead both physically and emotionally, the trajectory so far has been positive.' The update said that the messages sent by supporters had been shared with James and 'truly meant so much'. 'The support from the rallying and wider community has been overwhelming and deeply appreciated by everyone around James,' said the post. 'Thank you for your continued compassion, respect, privacy and support to both families during this incredibly difficult time.' James and Dai were in a Hyundai i20N Rally2 as they battled for the lead of the British Rally Championship contest. Police Scotland said that inquiries were ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash. Motorsport UK has also initiated a full investigation and says it will work closely with the Jim Clark Rally event organisers and Jim Clark Memorial Motor Club and will co-operate with the relevant authorities.
