🌸 Claudia’s Fundraising Challenge: Conquering Mount Toubkal for Maggie’s!

Two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed was 12 months of treatment — a journey filled with challenges, strength, and incredible support from my wonderful family, friends, colleagues, and the amazing team at Maggie’s.

When I finally got the all clear, it was a moment of relief and gratitude — but also the beginning of another journey: finding myself again and figuring out what my new normal would look like. It’s taken time, reflection, and a lot of kindness along the way to get here.

Over the Christmas break, I started dreaming about setting myself a new challenge — something that would celebrate life, resilience, and everything I’ve overcome. I came across a few adventure trips, and it came down to a choice:

A 100km hike across the Sahara

Or… climbing Mount Toubkal in Morocco — the highest peak in North Africa

The decision ended up being quite easy — I hate sand in my shoes! 😄 So Mount Toubkal it is!

My Fundraising goal is 4167 GBP that is one pound for every meter I am going to climb to reach the summit - please help me get there.

This climb isn’t just about reaching the summit. It’s about giving back to Maggie’s, whose care, warmth, and guidance helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. Every donation — big or small — will go directly towards ensuring others facing cancer receive the same life-changing support I did.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way - a friend, a colleague or a family member. Going through treatment is a tough journey and Maggies can make a difference and certainly helped me out tremendously.

I am hoping that one day Maggies services are no longer needed as we create cures and treatments that make cancer a survivable and curable disease, but until we have reached this point where we have eliminated cancer as a cause of death - Maggies is needed to lend a hand to those patients that are given the dreaded diagnosis of " you have cancer".

If you can, please support me on this adventure — help me raise funds for Maggie’s and make a difference for others still on their journey.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and belief in me — it means the world.

With love and gratitude,

Claudia
