Business Beats Cancer Cymru

“Until all cancers are treatable and survivable, there will be a fight against the disease. "Many of the board members recently shared their own experiences of cancer with each other,
with family and friends sadly losing lives, and so the combined passion will inevitably come through and help our efforts."

"Cancer has touched many of us, personally when I was diagnosed it picked a fighter. I'm now keen to raise awareness and funds supporting the phenomenal researchers who are closing in on cancer every year."

"Cancer is something that affects us all in someway or another. The opportunity to join this Board and be a part of Business Beats Cancer Cymru, to raise awareness in Business and especially the Community is what I am most passionate about."

"Lots of family members have had cancer and cancer scares. My Sister works in oncology and if I can do anything to help find a cure for cancer - I’m going to do it! When the opportunity arose to join Business Backs Cancer Cymru Board, it felt right!"

"Over the last 20 years, my wife and I have had various family members and friends diagnosed with skin, prostate, bowel or lung cancer. We regularly take on challenges to fundraise for this cause that is dear to our hearts, but I am also keen to come together with others from the business community to try to have a greater impact."

"I enjoy supporting passionate people and making a difference to people’s lives. My mother has recovered from breast cancer twice in the last two years, and my father in law and grandfather sadly both died of bone cancer in the last few years."

"Cancer is such a cruel disease that touches everyone connected to a loved one affected by it. We want to raise as much money as possible to fund research here in Wales, enabling our amazing scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat "

"At the age of 21 I was diagnosed with testicular cancer which returned a few years later, after radiotherapy treatment I have been clear ever since. I count myself as being one of the lucky ones and have always wanted to contribute in some way to try and increase the chances of survival for as many as people as possible. After speaking with Richard to understand the work that CRUK carry out I knew this was my opportunity to do so."
