In 2027, I will be taking on the challenge of swimming over 3 miles in New York City in support of Velindre Cancer Charity.

Having only learnt to swim last year, this is well outside my comfort zone. At times it feels daunting, but it is nothing compared to the challenges faced by those living with cancer and the people who support them every day.

I wanted to set myself a goal that genuinely pushes me, both physically and mentally, while raising funds for a cause that makes a real difference. Velindre provides vital care, treatment, and support to patients and their families, and I am proud to be able to contribute in some small way.

Any support, whether through donations or encouragement, would mean a great deal as I work towards this challenge.
