Story

Rhian was an amazing colleague, writer, meme-sender, and most of all, friend. I miss her terribly.

In an effort to raise money for Velindre Cancer Charity – the charity that supported and cared for Rhian throughout her journey – my dad, Richard, and I will be running 10.5 miles between two of South Wales’ most stunning castles, from Caerphilly to Cardiff.

We're also incredibly grateful that two more of Rhian and I's colleagues and friends, Maisie and Hannah, will be joining us for the challenge. Together, we'll be running in Rhian’s memory and raising funds for a charity that means so much to all of us.

Any donation, big or small, will make a huge difference. Thank you for your support. ❤️

Their work has a real impact on people’s lives, and I wanted to do my part to support them. Thank you so much for any support you can give—it truly means the world.

With 1 in 2 of us developing cancer in our lifetime, Velindre Cancer Charity needs your support now more than ever.

Velindre's ambition for the future is to enhance the lives of cancer patients, carers, and families in Wales by funding innovative projects and services that extend beyond NHS provisions. Together, we stand with Velindre Cancer Service in delivering exceptional cancer services to over 1.7 million people across South East Wales and beyond.

Together, we will achieve Victory Over Cancer.
