Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge is back for 2027!
Led by Welsh rugby legend Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Davies OBE, the 56-mile cycling event raises vital funds for cancer services in South and West Wales. In 2026, 445 cyclists pedalled from Cardiff to Swansea, raising £75,000 and counting for Velindre Cancer Centre and Swansea Bay Health Charity.
“I need your help to raise as much as possible and help improve cancer services. Join me for this great ride connecting these two incredible cancer hospitals in our collective effort of tackling cancer in South and West Wales.”
Velindre Charity President, Jonathan Davies, OBE
