Hello, my name is Lily, and I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon in October 2025 to support Cardiff University's neuroscience and mental health, and cancer research. I am running for my family members who have suffered from cancer and to help the next generation of researchers accelerate life-changing discoveries to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for people living with a wide range of conditions.

Cardiff's neuroscience and mental health researchers are developing new treatments for a wide range of debilitating conditions, including ADHD, depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's.

Cancer researchers at Cardiff University are improving outcomes for people living with some of the most common cancers, such as breast, prostate, and bowel, as well as those that are rarer or hard to treat.
