The power of your support
Your contribution through registration and sponsorship would contribute to:
Provide 250 families with soft lion teddies for children, additional support and comfort to families experiencing a cancer diagnosis.
Provide 50 patients with a 1-hour specialist counselling session, providing one-to-one wellbeing support for patients exactly when they need it.
Provide more than 65 patients with a complementary therapy session who alleviate anxiety, cancer symptoms and treatment side effects for patients.
Collectively, donations raised through the Ourika Valley Trek Challenge can directly support one of the 40+ clinical trials active at Velindre today, or even fund multiple Clinical Nurse Specialist’s salaries.
