SWCC- Cycling and climbing the Welsh 3 Peaks

The South Wales Cancer Crusaders were formed in 2019 after many of our group had family members diagnosed with cancer. Since 2019, Cancer has continued to sadly affect us all and we have unfortunately lost some incredible people due to this disease. We are a very close group of friends/family and our aim is to raise as much as we can for Cancer Research. We come in all shapes and sizes however we all share the same interest which is sport, particularly rugby & football. Many of us still play for our local teams in Newport and want to use our background in sport to help raise money and awareness of cancer.
