Olympian Jamie Baulch has issued a call for people to take part in the Barry Island 10k this May in aid of Cancer Research Wales.
With places to support the charity filling up fast, the record-breaking sprinter is throwing his support behind Cancer Research Wales and encouraging people to sign-up for the race before entries close on April 19.
Open to all abilities, Jamie said The Barry 10k isn’t just another race, “it’s a chance to come together with every mile helping to fund world-class cancer research right here in Wales.”
“It’s going to be an amazing experience. Just the thought of it brings back such fond memories of race days for me,” he added.
The Barry 10k takes place on May 17 and is renowned for its feel-good atmosphere and varied route. But don’t leave it too late, as sign-ups to take part in the race as part of Cancer Research Wales’ Cymru United Team closes within a matter of days.
Adam Fletcher, Chief Executive Officer of Cancer Research Wales said: “We are so pleased to have Jamie Baulch support Cancer Research Wales in the run up to the Barry 10k. Events like this are vital to raise funds for our charity so we can support the incredible cancer research that is taking place right here, on our doorstep.
“As a charity we have invested over £41.68 million in pioneering cancer research projects in Wales over the last 60 years, and by joining Team Cymru United for the Barry Island 10k, you can be part of ensuring that this valuable work continues to happen.”
For a £10 sign-up fee, you can join Team Cymru United, in the fight against cancer. Once signed up, you will be given a bespoke fundraising pack, access to race training support, and a Cancer Research Wales-branded t-shirt.
