Story

In November 2025 we (Paula Dockerill and Mary Lee), along with a group of other brave/mad souls, will be climbing Craig Goch in Patagonia as part of a trek in aid of Velindre cancer centre.  Everyone on the trek will have been touched by cancer in some way and raising money is our way of fighting back and supporting both patients and staff at Velindre, the Hospital of Hope.  In the words of our trek leader, Velindre patron and cancer survivor, Rhod Gilbert,  lets "Hoof cancer where it hurts!".

Velindre 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.
