Fundraising for Cancer Research Wales
Story
1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer in their lifetime.
I know that so many of my family and friends like myself have been personally impacted by this cruel disease.
I’m running the 2023 Cardiff Half Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research Wales who complete life saving research that can help beat it.
After completing Couch to 5K in 2021 I’ve continued running ever since and my next big (and very daunting) challenge is to complete a half marathon!
In the last few years I’ve sadly lost my Grandad and a close friend far too soon to Cancer.
My wonderful Nan has sadly passed away after battling Lung Cancer for the last 13 months. I am hugely inspired by her strength and determination which has given the push to sign up for this challenge.

Our vision is a Wales united against cancer through world-class research. Together we will reduce the impact of cancer and improve unacceptable survival rates. We will work to make sure that the people of Wales do not have to accept cancer as a life-threatening disease. And we will do this by supporting the best cancer researchers and clinicians to make discoveries which will transform lives.Our DNA is what makes us human, but it’s also what sets us apart. It’s what makes us who we are, and ultimately, it’s what drives us forward to change cancer outcomes across Wales.Wales is a part of our very make-up. Everything we do is for the people of Wales, and our work is putting our country on the map as a place of innovation and research, while changing lives for cancer patients here in Wales.
