The difference you make…
Here at Velindre Cancer Charity, we are proud to support the life-changing work of Velindre Cancer Services. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, fundraisers and supporters, we are investing in impactful projects and services that go beyond NHS funding. Our goal is to support patients and families at every step of their journey, ensuring that everyone at our Hospital of Hope receives exceptional care and achieves the best possible outcomes. By investing in supportive care services, empowering Velindre’s staff to become future leaders, funding innovative technologies, and driving forward transformative research and clinical trials, we are making a real difference to those affected by cancer in Wales and beyond.
Your £300 fundraising would allow us to fund 6 hours of specialist counselling sessions, helping patients process their emotions, come to terms with their diagnosis, and feel empowered as they navigate their cancer pathway.
Collectively, our 2025 Cardiff Half Marathon runners could raise an incredible £15,000 for Velindre Cancer Charity. These funds help us deliver life-changing care and services to cancer patients and their families. Sign up today and help us bring hope, build strength, and drive progress.
