Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - I really appreciate your support!

This May I will be running the Great Manchester Run - Half Marathon in order to raise funds for Velindre Cancer Centre. In January 2020 my mum’s cancer unfortunately returned, this time more aggressive than before. After ten years all clear, this came as a huge shock to us all. My mum now has stage 4 secondary breast cancer which has spread to her bones and is inoperable. As such, my mum is now reliant on medications and treatments that aim to slow the spread. 

This is why organisations such as Velindre, where my mum receives invaluable treatment and support, are so important for my mum and other cancer patients throughout South Wales. If you do wish to support Velindre, your generous donations will be used to offer better quality of care through complex treatment pathways, earlier access to cutting edge treatments, research into new treatments, purchase specialist equipment, fund invaluable support services and resources along with ensuring their staff have access to the most up to date training and techniques available.

Having previously completed the 10k Great Manchester Run twice, I thought it was time to challenge myself with my first half marathon and use this opportunity to raise funds for a cause that is so close to my heart. Any donations, no matter the size, are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Lauren :)
