A day together in the Brecon Beacons

Join us for the Life after Cancer Brecon Beacons Fundraising Hike 2027.

Come and spend the day with us in the Brecon Beacons, walking together, getting out in the fresh air and enjoying some incredible scenery, followed by a well-earned dinner in a local pub.

Bring friends, family or colleagues and make a weekend of it, or come on your own. You’ll be joining the Life after Cancer team and others from our community, with the chance to catch up with familiar faces or meet others in person for the first time.

 

There’s no pressure to share your story or talk about cancer. Come as you are, enjoy the walk and be part of the day.

Together, we’ll be raising funds to help us continue providing free support to people navigating life after cancer.

Whether you’ve joined our workshops, peer groups or other events before or this will be your first time, we’d love to have you with us next April.

“When treatment ended, I felt completely lost. I had been fighting for survival for so long and suddenly, I didn’t know who I was anymore.

I hope to raise as much as possible to ensure this amazing community can continue changing lives, just like they changed mine.”

Ready to join?

Whether you’re motivated by the cause or excited to meet new people, this is your chance to make a difference while spending the day walking through the mountains, valleys and open landscapes of the Brecon Beacons.

This hike isn’t about being the fastest or the fittest. With training support, good company and breathtaking views, it’s a chance to move at your own pace, spend time outdoors and do something that makes a real difference.

Open to anyone over 18, it’s for those who want to challenge themselves, meet others and raise awareness and funds to support adults finding their way after cancer.

Fundraising:

We recommend aiming for a fundraising goal of £300–£500 to support Life after Cancer’s mission. There’s no minimum, but every contribution makes a difference!

Brecon Beacons Fundraising Hike

10 Mile Hike full event - £35.00
20 Mile Hike full event - £35.00

Both hikes require good fitness and stamina, and advanced preparation is essential with a training plan provided by Life after Cancer. Please check with your medical team to ensure it is safe for you to participate.

“Four years ago, my husband was declared in remission after his second battle with cancer. We are so grateful for his recovery, for the support we had, and for the life we get to enjoy together.

 

We also know that life after cancer brings its own challenges and those don’t end when treatment does. That’s why I'm walking.”
