W&R's fundraiser for Velindre Cancer Centre

Ellie Price is raising money for Velindre Cancer Centre
In memory of Matthew Gillard

Mountain Climb · 5 June 2025

Velindre Cancer Services provides treatment, care and support to patients and their families. Money raised by our fundraisers allows us to support projects over and above those provided by the NHS including ground breaking research, specialist equipment, nurses and staff training.

Story

As we approach the anniversary of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Matt Gillard, we have decided to honour his memory by doing a sponsored climb of Pen y Fan to raise money for Velindre Cancer Care. As you may be aware, Matt liked to spend his free time climbing the various mountains in Wales, therefore this seems like a fitting challenge.

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.
