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!

This will be my 8th fund raising trek for Velindre since I did my first in Patagonia in 2015 - they are always challenging, but they always raise £100ks for this extremely valuable resource for Wales so are worth every step!

I received this email during our last trek across the Sahara High Dunes from a former member of staff and friend “Best of luck, Joyce and Cai! A fantastic cause...my Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in December which spread to the brain shortly afterwards. We nearly lost him in April but immunotherapy at Velindre under the care of Clara Namelo has been nothing short of a miracle. He’s back to big bike rides and walks and is a completely changed man. He’s basically largely back to normal for the moment.So, thank you so much. We are blessed to have the NHS and further blessed to live in proximity to the wonderful Velindre. Thank you xx”

Fund raising as well as training, finding the ideas, time and energy to maintain our efforts to do these challenges is not easy, but messages like this, and stories like this.....make it all worthwhile. Thank you!
