We are the world’s largest charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Our vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

Story

On 1st November, we’ll be setting off on a 9-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp! Our journey will take us through the Himalayas in Nepal, with long days, plenty of steep climbs (and tired legs, no doubt!) before reaching 4,130m elevation at Base Camp.

As we embark on this challenge, we wanted to take the opportunity to raise money for a charity very close to our hearts – Cancer Research UK. Like so many families, ours have both been affected by cancer and we’ve sadly lost loved ones on both sides. We know first-hand the impact it can have, not only on those going through it, but on everyone around them too.

The work Cancer Research UK does gives hope that more cancers can be prevented, diagnosed earlier and treated more effectively – and ultimately that more people get to have more time with the people they love. Being able to play even a small part in supporting that work makes this challenge all the more meaningful to us.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean a lot to us, and will help spur us on to keep putting one foot in front of the other when things get tough on the trek. Our trip will be entirely self-funded, so every penny raised will go directly to Cancer Research UK. If you can’t donate, sharing our page would be just as appreciated.

Thank you for your support ❤️

Hayley & Jon
