Firstly, thanks for taking the time to view my page.

This is the first time I’ve done anything like this. The odd stroll/walk is about the limit of my trekking skills so climbing Ben Nevis is a big step 🤣. So why am I doing this? I won’t lie, I’ve always wanted to do something like this. I’ve just always found an excuse to “not” do it. So when a friend put it out there that he was looking people to join him on the climb I nervously responded & after a lot of reassurance from him (an expert at this sort of thing) I agreed.

Obviously, doing it for a good cause really helps. If anything the fact that I’m asking people to sponsor me means I can’t bail out. I’m now fully committed 🤣.

Raising funds for the ICR is clearly a great cause. We all know someone personally that’s either battled or is battling Cancer & I couldn’t be more chuffed knowing that despite my lungs feeling like they’re going to explode, my knees feeling like the topping of an apple crumble & bits of my body being rubbed red raw it’s a very small sacrifice compared to what some people are going through.

A quick thanks to all who sponsor me but also to Robert Hancock for his gentle arm up the back persuasion 🤣.

How your support helps

Here’s how your donation could help the ICR take the fight to cancer:

£1,000 could buy a magnifying lens for a cutting-edge microscope, absolutely essential for cancer cure research in the lab.

£500 could pay for a small liquid nitrogen tank to preserve cells at the right temperature, making sure that important findings aren’t lost.

£350 could fund a student’s tuition fees for a month as they help explore new breakthroughs in cancer research.

£250 could pay for a special fridge to store samples and materials for the hundreds of experiments needed to research cancer.

£150 could buy a vortex machine to mix liquids in the lab to the standard required for experiments to be effective.

£125 could buy antibodies, used to identify proteins on cancer cells, an essential part of the research.

£50 could pay for special cell culture liquid to grow cancer cells in the lab for testing.

Even £10 could help by paying for 40 microscope slides, used for analysing cells during the research.

Please donate whatever you can afford – any donation takes us one step closer to finding a cure.
