Maggie’s Swansea Continues as Charity Partner to the Swansea Half Marathon
Front Runner Events, organisers of the Swansea Half Marathon, are excited to announce that Maggie’s Swansea will continue as an official charity partner for the upcoming race. This ongoing partnership gives runners the opportunity to support people living with cancer and their families by fundraising while taking part in one of Wales’ best-loved running events.
Maggie’s Swansea, based at Singleton Hospital, provides free support, advice, and practical guidance for anyone affected by cancer. From psychological and emotional support to benefits advice and workshops on nutrition and exercise, Maggie’s helps thousands of people each year find the strength to live well with cancer.
Why Maggie’s Matters
In 2024 alone, Maggie’s Swansea welcomed over 10,000 visits, offering a lifeline to individuals and families navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. The charity relies almost entirely on voluntary donations, and partnerships like this one ensure they can continue delivering essential services free of charge.
