1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a relatively rare form of cancer and in the UK, 13,000 people are diagnosed with it every year.

Last year my Grandma was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I remember feeling terrified for her but she reminded me that the only way to get through adversity is by being strong and tackling things head on. Grandma is an inspiration, a proud Welsh woman who does not know what it is to give up. After 6 weeks of transfusions her health and prognosis have both improved. She has been given incredible support by Shooting Star in Wrexham Hospital who made her feel comfortable and relaxed on her terrifying journey.

I too am proud to be a Welsh woman who does not know how to give up. I have recently taken up running and have decided to run the Cardiff Half Marathon in order to raise money For Cancer Research for Wales.

Our vision is a Wales united against cancer through world-class research. We work to reduce the impact of cancer and improve unacceptable survival rates. By supporting the best cancer researchers and clinicians across Wales, we are driving innovation and improving outcomes for the cancer patients of today and tomorrow.

All research funding is spent in Wales, for Wales. Thank you so much for any donations!
