Marie and Team 101 are joining the great North challenge of raising money for Marie curie . Something which is close to all of our hearts.

We will be ditching the uniform for a day and adorning our best hiking attire . The Mourne Mountains will not know what has hit it when we turn up all suited and booted ready to climb Slieve Doan with an elevation of 1946 feet and a mere 14.5km.

14.5km and 1946 feet may not seem like a big challenge to some! However, compared to our usual caffeine fuelled mornings this will be a challenge for all. The remote location is very different from the shiny flat terrain our little tootsies are used to.

From Expert Operators to novice mountaineers for the day !

But fear not …. We have our experienced guide Aidan aka Mr Downpatrick to look after us all and to ensure we are back on time for Mondays delivery shift !

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do ! And no one does it better than Area 101!

We sincerely appreciate any donation no matter how big or small it may be !

Roll on 17/8/25 !

Let’s do this !
