Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff is one of the UK’s main cancer centres. It was selected as one of our charities to support in 2025 as one of our other colleagues (Alex Loxton) is currently receiving treatment for bowel cancer at this centre, and this was the catalyst for arranging the second walk. Alex collapsed after completing 26 miles on day one of last year’s walk, and was diagnosed with cancer two weeks later. Alex is hoping to join us during the walk.

Velindre, the Hospital of Hope 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.
