Story
On Sunday 19th July 2026, the four of us - Anna, Owen, Aimee, and Zac - are teaming up to run a combined 23km for #TeamVelindre at the Show Cancer the V run!
If you're wondering about our team name, Two Peas and Their Pods... as sisters, Anna and Aimee have always been like two peas in a pod. Now, we've expanded our "pod" to include our partners. Anna is married to Owen, and Aimee's partner is Zac. As a foursome, we absolutely love taking on adventures together, and we are so excited to make this run our next big adventure.
Show Cancer the V is all about bringing people together to stand shoulder to shoulder for strength, solidarity, and hope. The day is designed to lift spirits, unite communities, and create unforgettable memories—and we can't wait to tackle it as a team.
Why We Are Running: We are taking on this adventure with the aim of raising vital funds for Velindre Cancer Services, affectionately known as The Hospital of Hope. Velindre holds a special place in the hearts of so many. The Velindre Cancer Charity goes above and beyond standard NHS provisions to make a real, tangible difference in patients' lives.
Did you know? Each year, Velindre Charity dedicates £1.5 million to pioneering research and clinical trials. Today, the charity contributes funding to over 40 active trials, helping to find the treatments of tomorrow, today.
By sponsoring us, you aren't just helping us reach our fundraising target—you are actively contributing to life-changing research and care.
Together, we will achieve Victory Over Cancer.
Thank you so much for your support, donations, and encouragement. It means the world to the four of us!
Anna & Owen, Aimee & Zac
