WINNERS - WIN a £200 bundle of Climbers Against Cancer Goodies Competition

Climbers Against Cancer (CAC): www.climbersagainstcancer.org is a charity that has been operating since 2013, during which time it has donated more than £600,000 to cancer research and support across the globe and brought together the climbing community to raise awareness of a disease that affects so many.

In the last year alone, we've donated over £75,000 to projects around the globe. Read more in our latest Newsletter or in the links below: 

  • Nepal project, training doctors to use existing radiotherapy equipment to treat children – cancer survival rates for kids in Nepal are 20% (v 80% in UK). Just think what a difference we can make! 
  • Funding and awareness for 'the Big Four' (Breast/Prostate/Bowel/Skin cancer) in UK – raising money AND helping our climbing community to stay safe / get checked / look after themselves!
  • Climbing Beyond Cancer – using our wonderful activity as a part of a recovery regime for cancer patients in GrenobleCalgary and Inverness
  • Tanzania project for clinical and non-clinical support aiming for cure rates comparable to resource-rich settings, with the vision that no child in Tanzania suffers or dies unnecessarily from cancer.

You've hopefully seen our distinctive bright T-Shirts, hoodies & beanies on the crag or at the wall, and maybe even in your wardrobe - Seen here modelled by some of our Athlete Ambassadors
