On Sunday 19th July 2026, we will be joining #TeamVelindre for an exciting brand new event – Show Cancer the V. Join me by visiting www.velindrefundraising.com

Myself & my husband Dan will be taking part in the 5k event with the aim of raising vital funds for Velindre Cancer Services, also known as, The Hospital of Hope.

This is a cause very close to our hearts. As many of you know, in 2024 I was given a diagnosis of stage 4, incurable cancer. However, with the support of my amazing doctor and the team at Velindre (and UHW), who work so tirelessly and with such care, I had a positive outcome. And whilst I am still under the care of Velindre, I recognise that many are not as fortunate as I am to have such a positive outcome.

We, as a family, will be forever grateful to Velindre and cannot emphasise enough the importance of the work they do.

Show Cancer the V is all about bringing people of all ages and abilities together to stand shoulder to shoulder for strength, solidarity, and hope. Every part of the day is designed to lift spirits, bring people together, and create unforgettable memories.

Velindre Cancer Charity provides services above NHS provisions by investing in supportive care services, funding innovative technologies, and driving forward transformative research and clinical trials.

Did you know? Each year, Velindre Charity dedicates £1.5 million of funding to pioneering research and clinical trials. Today, the charity contributes funding to over 40 active trials.

Together, we will achieve Victory Over Cancer.
