Ampthill vs Cancer 5K

Ampthill vs Cancer 5K The Ampthill vs Cancer 5K invites everyone to join a powerful community response on 29th June, whether you are from Ampthill or not, you can make a difference.

Every step matters, with all proceeds going to cancer charities to raise awareness, support families and fund vital research. Located in the beautiful Ampthill Park, this event welcomes runners, walkers and supporters of all abilities.

ยฃ15,000 of community fundraising, now supporting people affected by cancer. ๐Ÿ’œ

Weโ€™re proud to announce that Ampthill vs Cancer is awarding a ยฃ15,000 grant to Keech Hospice fully funding 11 weeks of its Friday Cancer Drop-In Group at the Living Well Centre in Bedford.

The group costs almost ยฃ70,000 a year to run and supports people at every stage of cancer, from diagnosis and treatment through to remission and beyond.

It offers nurse-led advice, connection with others who understand and access to further support when needed. Because cancer can be incredibly lonely, having somewhere to talk and feel understood really matters.

This is exactly what AVC set out to do: turn the money raised by our community into real support for people affected by cancer.

To everyone who has donated, fundraised, volunteered or supported us, this ยฃ15,000 is yours. ๐Ÿ™

You helped raise it. Now itโ€™s helping people who need it. ๐Ÿ’œ

We have some very special news to share. ๐Ÿค—

Weโ€™re delighted to announce legendary marathon runner Paula Radcliffe MBE as an official Ambassador for Ampthill vs Cancer. ๐Ÿ’œ

Paula has been part of our journey from the very beginning, officially starting our very first Ampthill vs Cancer 5K, so weโ€™re incredibly proud that sheโ€™ll now be supporting us as an Ambassador.

Ampthill vs Cancer was created to raise money locally and put it back into our community, supporting people and families affected by cancer when they need it most.

Having Paula alongside us will help us spread the word, reach more people and continue building on everything our community has already helped us achieve. ๐Ÿ’œ

Weโ€™re so pleased to have you as part of the Ampthill vs Cancer family, Paula. ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ’œ Local rugby hero Andy Hill is taking on his biggest challenge yet.

On 16th August, Andy will be tackling Ironman Copenhagen, raising money in memory of his dad, Colin, for Ampthill vs Cancer.

After losing Colin to cancer in 2025, Andy wanted to take on a challenge worthy of the incredible man his dad was. From barely swimming and never running much further than 10k, to months of dedicated training, he's pushed himself to prepare for one of the toughest endurance events in the world.

He's already raised an amazing ยฃ2,141 towards his ยฃ2,500 target.

Andy has put in the hard work, and weโ€™d love to help him reach his fundraising target. Every pound really does make a difference. ๐Ÿ’œ
Good luck, Andy. We'll all be cheering you on every step, pedal and stroke of the way.
