To celebrate my recovery from bowel cancer, I am running the Swansea Half Marathon in June 2023, and would love it if you could join me in raising money for Sketty Foodbank. I have set myself a huge target of £2,000 and would really appreciate your help.

It has struck me that for all we as a family have been going through, I have been incredibly fortunate that putting food on the table is not one of the things I have had to worry about. This is not the case for everybody, including some of the wonderful people who have been looking after me in the hospital. The need for food banks has been on the rise in recent years, and I have chosen to support my local one, Sketty Foodbank.
