Story

On 22nd June 2025 I completed the 296km Devil Dragon as part of the Dragon Ride cycling event. I completed the route in 3 hours and 12 minutes.

Thank you so much for all the donations received.

In January 2025, my Mum was diagnosed with Stage 3 bowel cancer. She is progressing through treatment and this year I am raising money for the Velindre Cancer Centre who have been absolutely amazing through my Mum's treatment, with my Mum being admitted for 3 weeks following a reaction to the second course of chemotherapy. The level of friendly care and professionalism my Mum received was truly amazing.

Velidre has been providing specialist treatment and supportive care to cancer patients and families for over 65 years.

Money raised for Velindre Charity helps fund ground breaking research and clinical trials, cutting edge treatments, specialist nurses, support services, therapies, equipment and so much more which are above those provided by the NHS – so donations really do have a significant impact on patients and their families.

Your donation will allow Velindre to continue to provide Hope for the future.
