Story
Our beloved daughter Rhian and sister to Rhys passed away aged just 25 years of age in June 2012 from Cervical Cancer after a long and traumatic battle against the disease.
During this period both she and our family received fantastic support from Velindre Cancer Centre which included additionally, cutting edge expert treatment for Rhian which regrettably failed in her case.
As more and more people are now thankfully surviving and living with cancer the ongoing demand for continued support and continued treatment at Velindre is increasing meaning every penny raised now is as vital as ever to maintain the levels of treatment and care that so many families have been accustomed to and rely on at Velindre .
All money raised through us will be paid directly into Rhian,s Charity Fund at Velindre (THE RHIAN GRIFFITHS VELINDRE ROSE TRIBUTE FUND)which to date has raised over £192000 through the hard work and generosity of support of many who have helped us as a family for which we are very grateful,....as a consequence there has been for example complete refurbishment of an extensive family room for use of relatives when loved ones are inpatients on ward and also on going regular contributions into the Aphrodite Fund at Velindre which pays for much needed research into cures for gynaecological cancer and other related treatments
We want to continue this work indefinitely to help in a small way to benefit patients and aid the amazingly dedicated work of all medical staff and volunteers at the Centre
