As a proud Ambassador for the Velindre Cancer Centre I am privileged to launch the annual ‘A Mile a Day in May’ for 2023.

I first launched ‘A Mile a Day in May’ in 2020, since then it has raised a remarkable £42,000! This fantastic amount has been raised due to the generosity of people not only in Wales but across the whole UK, who have supported and donated to this great cause.

Your donation to ‘A Mile a Day in May’ continually compliments and supports many of the overseas fundraising events I have undertaken in the past and will undertake over the coming years to raise funds for the ‘Hospital of Hope’

’A Mile a Day in May’ is a simple concept. Participants pledge to cover at least 1 mile a day for the month of May and then donate a suggested £1 for every day, a total of £31. If this is too expensive then any amount that is affordable is greatly received.

Your mile can be covered in any way you want, it can be walked, run, cycled, swam, rowed, done in a wheelchair, canoe, pushchair, on horseback! And at any time of day that best suits you. It is totally inclusive for everyone.

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. Diolch yn Fawr
