The funnyman has stage 4 cancer in his head and neck but says he is well enough to lead a charity trek to Morocco
Comedian Rhod Gilbert has said that he is planning to go on tour in 2024 after he has got through cancer treatment. The 54-year-old revealed in July that he is suffering from stage four head and neck cancer.
The stand-up comic from Carmarthen has good news about his recovery, saying he is going on a trek to Mount Toubkal, in Morocco, next month to raise money for the cancer centre. He explained: “The last one was Cuba in 2022 and this is the next one so I’m very, very grateful to the NHS and to Velindre for getting me back on my feet and hopefully I’ll be well enough. I’ve only got about a month - I’ve got a bit of training to do.
So far, the comic has helped to raise over £1.8m for Velindre on the previous treks he has led. “Everybody on those walks put in a massive effort with the fundraising so collectively we’ve all raised [that money],” he said.
