Story

I know, I know, I've asked you before, but Thank you for taking a moment to visit my just giving page.

Cancer isn't going away and 1 in 2 of us in the UK are likely to develop cancer in our lifetime, so I am honored to be fundraising for Velindre cancer centre.

A small splash in the Pacific for 2 miles will be nothing compared to the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, so I will give it my best...but I do not like being cold!!! Water temperature is expected to be around 13 degrees, and there will be currents and sea-life to contend with! Wish me luck!!

Velindre, the Hospital of Hope has been providing specialist treatment and supportive care to cancer patients and families for over 65 years.

Money raised for Velindre Charity helps fund ground breaking research and clinical trials, cutting edge treatments, specialist nurses, support services, therapies, equipment and so much more which are above those provided by the NHS – so donations really do have a significant impact on patients and their families.

Your donation will allow Velindre to continue to provide Hope for the future.
