Dr Malcolm Stewart, Dr Mark Palmer and Rob have cleverly agreed to join a group of group of staff and students from the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition to take part in The Beast Race, at Knockburn Loch on the 22nd September 2018. 

This is an epic 10k obstacle race over tough Aberdeenshire terrain, 30 mega obstacles, giant water slides, icy loch water and thick mud & swamp crossings. It sounds delightful.

We're taking part in the race to raise funds for the University's ambitious £4.5 million cancer research project. 

Professor Steve Heys, Head of the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition at the University, is spearheading the research plans and says “We have internationally renowned expertise in many areas of cancer research but this will take it to a new level.  The vision to establish Aberdeen as a centre for world-class cancer research will lead not only to excellent patient care but to pioneering research and high levels of participation in clinical trials which will have a global impact.  However, support from donors and community fundraisers for Cancer Research through the University of Aberdeen Development Trust is absolutely vital'. 

By taking part in the Beast Race we will help make these plans a reality.
