Velindre Cancer Centre is the largest non - surgical cancer Hospital in Wales providing Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and other specialised anti-cancer treatments for over half the people of Wales. We have been providing care and support to cancer patients and their families in Wales for over 50 years.
<p>
Every year we provide care, treatment and support for over 100,000 people.
Due to early detection and improved treatments the number of people in Wales living with cancer is increasing daily. It is estimated that by 2015 there will be a 30% increase in the most common forms of cancer. We are determined to raise the money necessary to enable us to meet these new challenges.
We did it! We climbed the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales and all within 24 hours. It was a fantastic experience for all of the team and the months of training and preparation paid off. Sore feet, sprained and bruised ankles and aching limbs tried to deter us, but an overwhelming sense of determination helped us achieve one of our goals.
One of our goals? Yeap, the other is still to raise £2,000 for Velindre! At the time of the challenge we were about half way there, so to those who have already shown their generosity by donating to this cause, you have the team's heartfelt thanks. If you're reading this and haven't yet donated, please please do. It really is a very simple process. Why should you donate now? Well, five people squeezed into a van and did a 1,200 mile road trip, climbed Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon (some 3,400 metres), all within 24 hours with barely a wink of sleep for 36 hours. All because they believed in helping a very worthy cause. We're hoping you'll agree we worked hard and earned a donation!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Velindre Nhs Trust Charitable Fund gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
