Every donation helps Latch to provide emotional, practical, and financial support to children and families when they need it most.
We don’t receive any government funding. Latch relies on the support of our community to continue being here for childhood cancer in Wales.
“I did my first half marathon for Latch when Max was having treatment. Without them, I can't foresee how we would have got through that time. As well as running, I’ve done physical challenges, going to base camp at Everest and climbing Kilimanjaro. I will continue to support Latch for as long as I physically can.”
