Beyond the Torch

On the 26th May 2012, after being selected as one of the 8,000 individuals to carry the Olympic torch, Lara Cowpe, 24 of Dinas Powys proudly lit up the streets of her local town.

Diagnosed with cancer at the age of seven, Lara then went on to raise more than £30,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit based at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. 

Lara's close friend, Elizabeth McGuire has now published a photo documentary book of Lara's torch relay, which provides a personal look at the story beyond the relay.

Now is your chance to help teenagers and young people in Wales to fight cancer! By buying Beyond the Torch, by Elizabeth McGuire you can really make a difference. All profit from the book goes towards the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in Cardiff, which is designed specifically for teenagers suffering with the awful disease.
