Velindre Cancer Charity helps deliver exceptional cancer services to over 1.7 million people across South East Wales. We help pave the way for a future with world-class, research-led treatments and supportive care that can change lives. Together, we will achieve Victory Over Cancer.

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.
