Cancer challenge stopover

Afonwen Farm was a stopover point for the 2024 Wales Coast Path Cancer Challenge.

This event took place between 14th February and 10th March 2024. The ambitious journey strove to create a community united against cancer across the length and breadth of Wales.

The charity hike and bike ride was on behalf of a gentleman called Craig Maxwell who has terminal lung cancer. He took on the Wales Coast Path in a 26-day challenge, which saw him walk and cycle 870 miles across Wales. 26 days has been chosen to mirror the QuicDNA project’s goal of reducing diagnosis time.

Craig was joined each day by Welsh celebrities like Sam Warburton, Jamie Roberts, Gethin Jones, and Jamie Baulch to name a few.

The organisers said:

Having surpassed our initial goal of £300k, raising over £1 million for the Maxwell Family Genomics Fund, we are embarking on a monumental challenge to symbolise hope, resilience, and unity, we hope you can join us.
