colin's fundraiser for PLANETS Cancer Charity

colin zaczyk is raising money for PLANETS Cancer Charity
In memory of Ann Zaczyk

Everesting Mount Ventoux · 10 June 2025

PLANETS ethos is based around two fundamental principles: Firstly, supporting our patients and their families by working together as a “whole team” with the doctors, nurses and other medical staff using the motivation of fundraising alongside our patients to help them fight cancer through the positive energy that this camaraderie creates. Secondly, we use the money that has been raised to provide the “icing on the cake“ by funding things that the NHS otherwise could not afford and stimulating innovation in cancer care through research and the introduction of new treatments. PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.

Story

Everesting for MUM

I am taking on the ultimate endurance challenge, climbing the height of Mount Everest (8848 metres) on my road bike within 24 hours.

This is far more than a personal test of stamina, it is a tribute to my amazing Mum's strength, resilience and unwavering spirit. Sadly she lost her battle with cancer in 2023 but she will be with me alongside friends and family who will be part of this event.

My mission is to raise funds for PLANETS cancer charity, a cause close to my heart, to support families like mine facing similar battles.

Every penny raised will go directly to helping others in their fight.

Your support will mean the world and inspire me to keep pedalling day & night, whether it is a donation or just a message of encouragement I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you for being part of this.
