On Sunday 19th July 2026, I'll be joining #TeamVelindre for an exciting brand new event – Show Cancer the V. Join me by visiting www.velindrefundraising.com

Between the ages of 36 and 41 I was diagnosed with cancer three times. Firstly bowel cancer and then breast cancer twice. I received treatment twice at Velindre for the breast cancer.

From every receptionist who greets you, nurse who helps you, cleaner who says hello to you in passing, oncologist, chemo and radiotherapy clinician, complimentary therapist, counsellor.... They are all incredible, incredible people how have such a special role in us navigating the most scary time of our lives.

Velindre is the place you hope you never have to go, but if you do, you are in such good hands.

To help raise much needed funds, joined my husband, children (13 and 7) and our wonderful friends with their children, we will be taking part in the family fun run.

Show Cancer the V is all about bringing people of all ages and abilities together to stand shoulder to shoulder for strength, solidarity, and hope. Every part of the day is designed to lift spirits, bring people together, and create unforgettable memories.

I'll be taking part in this event with the aim of raising vital funds for Velindre Cancer Services, also known as, The Hospital of Hope.

Velindre Cancer Charity provides services above NHS provisions by investing in supportive care services, funding innovative technologies, and driving forward transformative research and clinical trials.

Did you know? Each year, Velindre Charity dedicates £1.5 million of funding to pioneering research and clinical trials. Today, the charity contributes funding to over 40 active trials.

Together, we will achieve Victory Over Cancer.
