The best pictures as thousands of people run Cardiff's Pretty Muddy race
Thousands of people took to Cardiff's Bute Park to take part in Cancer Research UK's Pretty Muddy obstacle course. The race on Saturday, May 3, saw the park become a sea of pink and brown with around 4,000 children and adults taking part on the course at Coopers Field.
11-year-old Abi Knox, from Llandaff, sounded the horn which saw runners get underway. Abi was running in memory of her mum, Jenny, who died of breast cancer two years ago.
Abi said: "It meant a lot to start the event in my mum's memory. I took part with my friends Steffan and Lottie and it was so much fun. My favourite obstacle was the big slide at the end. It was a great day and I loved taking part."
Cancer Research say each year 20,200 people in Wales are diagnosed with cancer but through their research we can move towards a world free from the fear of a devastating diagnosis.
Ruth Amies, Cancer Research UK's spokesperson in Wales, said: "It was a fantastic day in Cardiff - full of emotion, courage, tears, laughter and hope as people celebrated the lives of those dear to them who have survived cancer and remembered loved ones lost to the disease.
"Now we're asking everyone who took part to return the money they're raised as soon as possible. Every donation, every pound raised will make a real difference."

Norwich radiologist says lack of doctors is causing cancer delays
A senior radiologist has said there are not enough doctors to keep up with the number of cancer patients needing scan results, diagnosis and treatment. Dr Tom Roques, vice president of clinical oncology at the Royal College of Radiologists, who also works at Norwich and Norfolk University Hospital, claimed the NHS was struggling to meet the government's 62-day diagnosis targets in cancer care. However, Steffan Aquarone, North Norfolk MP, believed another significant challenge was ensuring patients in rural areas could access treatment. A spokesman for the Department of Health and Social Care said: "We are determined to tackle delays, diagnose cancer earlier and treat it faster." Dr Roques described a shortage of both radiologists and doctors. He said: "People are waiting for scan results or waiting for diagnoses and we're also really short of cancer doctors."There are delays further down the line in actually having that treatment because there aren't enough people to provide it."However, he says the problem was not just a Norfolk issue. "We are just not able to meet the government-set targets which themselves, are not that ambitious really."If you don't have the staff and nurses and the physical space to treat them [patients] then people are not going to be able to have the treatment they deserve." Matt Sample, from Cancer Research UK, said the 62-day government target had been missed annually since 2015, with 74,000 people not beginning treatment within that target last year. He said: "For people affected by cancer, every single day waiting to get that diagnosis and begin treatment is a worrying and stressful time even when they are seen within targets. "When those targets are missed, those worries and stresses are just compounded - it can impact their treatment options and ultimately their outcomes. Liberal Democrat Aquarone agreed, saying "more people die than are necessary". He remains concerned about the ability of people in rural areas to get cancer care. "This is entirely about access to treatment," he said. Julie Keeling, nurse director for planned care at Norwich and Norfolk University Hospital, said: "Our latest validated figures show that as of March 2025, 51.8 % of patients receiving first treatment for cancer are treated by day 62, with 48.2 % of patients waiting over 62 days for first cancer treatment. It is encouraging that this is an improvement on previous data."We know that we have more to do and are sorry that some patients have had to wait longer than expected to see us following a cancer referral."The Department of Health and Social Care said: "We are delivering 40,000 more appointments every week, investing £1.5bn in both new surgical hubs and AI scanners, rolling out cutting-edge radiotherapy machines to every region in the country and backing our radiologists and oncologists with above inflation pay rises for the second year in a row."

Dad diagnosed with incurable lung cancer denied life-extending drug
A terminally ill father has said he was forced to pay privately for a potentially life-extending drug which could have given him an extra "invaluable" six months with his Maxwell, 41, was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer in July 2023 and has since raised £1.6m to support others with the drug, amivantamab - costing over £20,000 - is not yet approved in the UK, despite trial data suggesting users have a 50% better chance of halting the progression of the and Vale University Health Board said it "deeply sympathised" with Mr Maxwell, adding that "all requests" for funding are supported by the Individual Patient Funding Request (IPFR) panel. Mr Maxwell, from Penarth, is the former chief commercial officer for the Six Nations rugby tournament and Welsh Rugby Union's former head of he said he was "one of the lucky ones" to benefit from targeted therapy with minimal side effects, his cancer developed resistance, forcing him to undertake more toxic chemotherapy and the new drug is currently going through the NHS approval process in the UK, but Mr Maxwell said he could not wait "because my cancer is spreading".He applied to the IPFR panel for support in October, but was declined - he paid £20,000 himself for the first quarter of treatment."My results have come back and my cancer's stable and has stopped growing, which is fantastic news," he said. However, the panel recently rejected his application again. Mr Maxwell said: "They feel it's not making a considerable benefit to my quality of life versus the cost.""I've found that hard to accept, because in my position, six to nine months is invaluable."There's no cost you can put on that, to have six or nine months with my family."Mr Maxwell said some private donors had offered help, but he planned to go through the appeals process to overturn the decision."The IPFR panel exists to support patients like me in Wales," he added. Mr Maxwell has raised more than £1.6m to support the cancer pathway in Wales with his latest challenge, a 72-mile (115km) row from Tenby to Cardiff, taking place only a few weeks ago."We feel desperately strongly about supporting cancer pathway in Wales, regardless of what the funding decision is," he Maxwell said, despite the cost of the drug, he did not understand the reason for the panel's rejection."I understand the drug is very expensive," he said. "But is the best thing for me at the moment and it was recommended to me by multiple professionals." Mr Maxwell said he didnot think there is a crisis in cancer care for Welsh added that there "needs to be more" investment in the cancer pathway."It's made me realise how important fundraising is, not just for me, but for future patients."Mr Maxwell said his family are trying to enjoy and laugh together recognising that "staying close is important"."There have been some amazing moments and experiences throughout this journey and I have to savour them," he said. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said it had "worked extensively" with Mr Maxwell to raise awareness of his condition."We are unable to comment further on individual patient cases," the health board added.

Like Jessie J, I was told I had early breast cancer
It is almost five years to the day since I heard those utterly unforgettable words on April 16, 2020: You have breast cancer. Sadly, I am far from alone. This morning, 37-year-old singer-songwriter and mother-of-one, Jessie J, revealed her own breast cancer diagnosis via Instagram. I recall my own experience so vividly. I remember screaming at the doctor that I was far too young, fit and healthy for this to be happening. Except it was happening. And to me. I was 41. At the time, my daughter was five, my son was 11 months, and we had just gone into the first Covid lockdown. Half a decade on, hard as I try hard to crack on with life, reading Jessie J's news brings it all flooding back. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While I was told that I had triple negative breast cancer – sometimes described as a faster-growing type – I was also told, like Jessie, that it had been discovered 'early.' Once you've found out you've got breast cancer, it's hard to seek solace in almost anything. Yet I was able to take at least a little comfort from medics repeatedly telling me that if you are diagnosed early (known as 'stage 1 to 2'), the disease is often highly treatable. Early breast cancer is more commonly known as stage 1 or 2 breast cancer. Stage 1 or 2 breast cancer is then further divided into stages 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B. Which stage you are diagnosed with depends on whether the cancer is bigger than 2cm or 5cm, and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes, how many and where. Common symptoms include a lump in the breast or armpit, skin dimpling or a change in texture, unusual nipple discharge, nipple changes, and changes in breast size or shape. You can find out more from Cancer Research UK here. Jessie herself has said she is 'holding on' to the word 'early'. The staging system is worked out based on certain factors, such as the size of the cancer, and whether it has spread to lymph nodes in the armpit. (Mine was a little bigger than 5cm overall, but very fortunately, hadn't spread). Prior to getting diagnosed, I was in really good health. I'd been vegetarian since the age of nine, had never smoked, and did exercise most days. There was also no family history of it. But as I have come to understand in the wake of all this, cancer does not discriminate, even when you're a world-famous celebrity. I, and Jessie, are simply two of the unlucky ones. I made the appointment to get myself checked out after finding a lump on my left breast while sitting in the bath a few weeks into lockdown. At the time, I remember thinking it was more just precautionary, as opposed to anything else. At first, even the consultant wasn't too concerned, suggesting it might just be a sporting injury. But the scans soon told a very different story. After going through a blur of mammograms and ultrasounds – and having several biopsies taken – it was confirmed that I was going to need chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. One of the toughest summers of my life followed. I underwent a gruelling four-month chemotherapy regime – consisting of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin – as well as an intense two-week course of daily radiotherapy. And in the midst of all that, I had an operation known as a 'therapeutic mammoplasty.' While this is not as major as a mastectomy, it is more involved than a lumpectomy. It essentially involves surgeons removing the tumour, but trying to save as much of the breast as possible. To paraphrase the words of Jessie J in her heart-wrenchingly honest and emotional Instagram video: 'I got to keep my nipples.' In October 2020, I got the 'all-clear' (or at least the closest thing you get to an 'all-clear' as far as cancer is concerned – as once you've had this disease, you never really get to walk away). All I can say to Jessie J – and anyone going through any version of this gruelling journey right now – is that I am forever grateful to my body for making it through all of this. It may look a little different these days, but I am still here – working full-time, being a mum to two high-octane kids now aged nine and six, playing netball, lifting weights, sea swimming and so much more – and I have my body to thank for that. I have also learned to love my boobs all over again. Jessie J mentioned how she had gone 'back and forth' on sharing her story. Having gone through this life-changing experience, I applaud her bravery and honesty. I am always keen to share mine because by opening myself up and by being vulnerable and brutally honest, I hope I can show the solidarity Jessie speaks of, and maybe even offer a little help to others going through something similar. I also believe that if reading my story gets even one woman to do a breast examination or schedule an appointment, then some good has come out of all I've been through. I can't say it bluntly enough: Checking your boobs could save your life. Hard as it is to write these words, catching breast cancer in its early stages really can be the difference between surviving – and not. Get a tumour removed at an early stage, and there's a far better chance of things going well. In April this year, I reached my fifth year since diagnosis, a not insignificant milestone in my journey, as doctors say that at this stage post treatment, the risk seems to go back down (though the increased risk does not go away completely). More Trending To mark this five-year anniversary, I did a host of fundraising events, including a 'Mighty Hike' along the Cornish coast in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, raising almost £3,000. And, on April 16 itself, I went to the beach – here, where I live, in beautiful north Devon – with my husband and children, and watched the waves lap against the shore. I also hugged them all hard. Very, very hard. View More » I hope and wish that Jessie J will get to do the same. Do you have a story you'd like to share? Get in touch by emailing Share your views in the comments below.
