Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As someone who quite honestly would rather take the car than walk, when the Patagonia Trek was mentioned to me I just laughed... but having experienced the devastating effects cancer can have on a family, after losing my lovely mother-in-law Jan last year, I know she would be the first person to support me doing such a challenge, so I decided to go for it!
I am so privileged to be able to take part in this trek; I am doing this fundraising alongside the brilliant Ystrad Mynach Primary School as they have also pledged to raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre after they heard the inspiring story of one of their pupils who has been personally helped by the hospital. They were called to action and the Headteacher Jonathan Lloyd set a year to "make a difference" to help this amazing place.
Through the amazing medical breakthroughs and fantastic work that hospitals like Velindre does, we can have 'victory over cancer' and I am going to be doing all I can to help achieve this and will be thinking about Jan every step of the way!
