Story

I'm taking part in Velindre Cancer Charity's popular Castle 2 Castle run in support of all those I know or have known who have been treated there. In particular I am running in memory of my Olav, and for Anne Sheppard, who is currently undergoing treatment there.

This is one of South Wales’ most cherished running events—a scenic 10.5-mile journey between two of the region’s most iconic landmarks, Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff Castle. Over the past 11 years, this beloved fun run has brought communities together while raising vital funds for Velindre, helping the Hospital of Hope continue its incredible work in supporting patients and their families across Wales.

******I am going to write the names of people I know who have been treated at Velindre on my jacket. If you would like me to add someone’s name before the run on Sunday please message me or write it below in a sponsorship message and I will try to get as many names on me as possible. I will post pictures of it here after the race.******
