AN event to light up Tredegar’s Bryn Bach Park will be held this October to shine a light on  Neuroendocrine Cancer and honour a local mum of five who sadly passed away from the disease.

Ceri Lewis was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroendocrine Cancer in July 2025. Yet despite undergoing chemotherapy treatment and enjoying positive results, the cancer had already travelled to the brain.

Five days after finding the cancer had spread, Ceri passed away in November last year.

Ceri's five children, four siblings, parents, husband and many close friends and family are determined to ensure she has a deserving legacy.

Ceri's final wish was to raise as much awareness as possible about Neuroendocrine Cancer in the hope it would give other families more time with their loved ones.

Below are some hard facts about neuroendocrine cancer.

Ninety percent of patients are incorrectly diagnosed and treated for the wrong thing.

It takes an average of 4.5 years to get a correct diagnosis.

Patients visit their GP on average 11 times before they receive a diagnosis.

More than 50 percent are diagnosed with a late stage of the cancer.

Ceri’s family, friends and well wishers have already raised nearly £8,000 in honour of her memory and our determined to keep going.

The Light up the Lake event will be held on Friday, October 9 at Tredegar’s Bryn Bach Park.

Participants will be given the choice to walk or run on for five laps of the park with a head torch.

Entries cost £15 for adults and £5 for children. A medal and an entry pack will be included, but all children must be accompanied by an adult and you must supply your own torch.  

Glow in the dark attire is encouraged, and the organisers hope as many people will help them light up the lake in honour of Ceri’s memory.
