I'd love and appreciate your generous support on this challenge. 

In September 2022, at the age of 40 my friend and colleague Craig Maxwell was diagnosed with a rare form of genetic lung cancer, EGFR+, which had also spread to his bones.It is an inoperable, incurable Stage 4 diagnosis. Craig’s terminal illness has given him, his children, Isla (12) and Zach (8), and wife, Tracey, limited time together.

With the four words "You have incurable cancer" their lives changed forever, and their future was taken away. Tracey and Craig agreed that they will not let this control the time they have left together as a family. They decided to focus their energy on raising vital funds to support and help the Cancer diagnosis pathway in Wales, speeding up diagnosis and supporting quicker treatments for patients, as of December 2023 Craig, Tracey, and their friends have raised close to £1mill with the support of Velindre Cancer Centre.

Craig will miss his children’s future, but whilst he can’t be there to give them the support he had planned to with Tracey, he can show them how strong and powerful people can be when we want to make a difference together. He is a true inspiration and you can read more about the Maxwell Genomics fund here: https://the-maxwell-family-fund.justgiving-sites.com/

THE CHALLENGE

On the 7th March I will join Craig and others walking a 26-mile leg of the challenge as he marches around the coast of Wales raising awareness and much needed funds to reduce cancer diagnosis time.

Craig will be carrying the match ball for the Wales v France game completing his challenge at the Principality Stadium ahead of kick off on 10th March.

Please give generously and thank you!
