Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are a group of doctors and nurses working in Dermatology & Plastic Surgery at James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough and are proud to support Melanoma Focus with our challenge! This charity supports patients with melanoma skin cancer and helps fund vital research.

Melanoma is the UK's most rapidly increasing type of cancer, with over 17,500 new cases each year. It is the fifth most common cancer in the UK.

Our Lake District 10 Peak Challenge is a 20.5km, 1875m ascent trek over tricky terrain, encompassing 10 peaks, including Scafell Pike - the highest mountain in England (3209ft). Our aim is to complete this within 10 hours.
