Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking part in the Snowdonia 50 race to support. #teamirfon a campaign set up by our friend Irfon Williams and family to raise £20K to support the Alaw Unit in Ysbyty Gwynedd where he is currently receiving treatment for bowel cancer. Through #teamirfon we want to raise awareness of the importance of looking after your mental health whilst living with cancer.

Cancer can affect peoples mental health, but having access to complementary therapies and counselling services can really help patients and families living with a cancer diagnosis. I know these important extra services which are funded through donations can really help to reduce the impact that cancer has on our mental health. 

The Alaw Unit needs over £150,000 in donations a year to fund basic but important extras which help brighten patients' days.

The number of people with cancer in increasing. By 2020, almost one in two people will get cancer. Over 1,500 people with cancer were looked after on the Alaw unit last year, and they are looking after Irfon this year.

We want to makes sure the fantastic staff on Alaw can go on providing incredible extra care, treatment and research that is funded through Awyr Las for many years to come.

Thank you :)
