Climb for Cures!
A charity challenge with four unique UK charity treks and one urgent goal – accelerating cures for brain tumours!
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 in the UK but funding for research into brain tumours is still too low. So, it’s time to lace up your hiking boots and climb for cures!
Our new four-part charity challenge – Climb for Cures – will see our team of dedicated trekkers tackle some of the UK’s most iconic peaks to help power our mission to take on brain tumours. From snow-capped peaks and wind-swept dales to blustery bogs and misty moors, we’ll leave no stone unturned as we climb towards cures!
