Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Marie Curie Great Escape Challenge is held annually to raise awareness of and funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.  Credit Agricole CIB entered two teams in the challenge last year and collectively the 40 teams raised over £150,000.  This year with more than 60 teams from companies across the UK we hope to raise even more while also providing a larger platform for Marie Curie to build awareness of their work.

The challenge involves hiking, biking and kayaking a 42km course through the Staffordshire countryside while completing 10 different mental, physical and sometimes emotional challenges.  The challenges change each year so there is no way for us to prepare; however, we are guaranteed to be pushed, tested and ultimately embarrassed in the hunt for more points.  Although the event is very competitive it is also a fantastic arena for raising the profile of Marie Curie Cancer Care and as the dramatic increase in attendance this year shows, everyone comes away thoroughly impressed by their work and eager to spread the word.
