It all started when Calum Thomson, Head of Sales and Business Partnerships at Loxley Colour, decided he wanted to do something to help support the incredible work carried out by the nurses and staff at Marie Curie.

It quickly became apparent that there are many more like Calum who have been touched by the work of Marie Curie, and as such, he wasn’t short of volunteers to help him achieve his goal of paying for a day of care at a Marie Cure centre.

So he set about signing up a team. From all corners of the UK and Ireland, and all areas of the industry, our courageous climbers include Calum, Graham Brough, John Gray and Tony Meagher from Loxley Colour, Simon and Liz Nicholson, Jenny O'Neill and the CEO of 3XM, Ronan Ryle and his wife Susan as well as the Business Group Manager of Fujifilm, Jon Cohen.

For over 65 years, Marie Curie has provided care and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. Last year alone they cared for over 40,000 people across the UK. Marie Curie Hospices offer 24-hour care and support in a friendly welcoming environment. It an army of dedicated volunteers, nurses, doctors and healthcare professionals to run the nine Marie Curie hospices across the UK. By raising £6,500 we can help Pay of a Day of vital care in one of these treasured centres. 

Simply by donating you can help us contribute to keeping these vital services available to those who need them most.

 
We’ve set ourselves an ambitious target, but we believe it’s worth it and that with your support, we can make it. Help us achieve our goal by donating what you can.

You can keep up to date with our climbers’ progress on the Loxley Colour Facebook page and Twitter feeds.
