Cardiff Half Marathon 2022 · 27 March 2022 ·

Join the Cancer Research Wales team at the Cardiff University Cardiff Half Marathon and help us to continue funding world-class cancer research here in Wales.

Story

In 2018 I received the shocking news that I had breast cancer. Today I am cancer free and fighting fit, thanks to the amazing work of all medical staff involved. I will be forever grateful to them and for the vital research conducted by Cancer Research Wales. Please support me in supporting them, they receive no government funding, so any donation is invaluable. 

Every 30 minutes, someone in Wales is diagnosed with cancer, and each week 171 families in Wales lose a loved one to cancer. Although survival rates are improving, this is still nearly 9,000 lives lost annually here in Wales. There are now over 130,000 people in Wales who are living with, or have had cancer; this number would almost fill Cardiffs Principality Stadium twice over, and by 2030 it is estimated that this figure will nearly double. As you can see, there has never been a greater need for research. Every penny that youre able to raise will be spent here in Wales, helping to support our life-saving research projects taking place in universities and hospitals throughout Wales. Were funding some of the worlds leading cancer research here in Wales. This ground-breaking research is helping more people survive cancer than ever before.
