A woman who was diagnosed with cervical cancer aged 35 is raising money for research by stepping into the boxing ring. Kelly Griffiths, an immigration officer from Clydach in Swansea, said she initially lost confidence and motivation after having a hysterectomy.
Just months after being diagnosed, her 56-year-old mother, Alison, was told she had breast cancer. Both are now in remission following treatment and Ms Griffiths is taking the opportunity to try something new.
She has signed up for an Ultra White Collar Boxing charity event to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The programme offers amateurs the opportunity to take part in eight weeks of free boxing training before a showcase event in front of hundreds of spectators.
