Story

TRUCK PULL CHALLENGE

This year, DAF are raising money for cancer charities, who like so many worthy causes, have seen a devastating drop in funding due to COVID-19. Cancer touches everyones lives, with the latest stats stating that 1 in 2 people born after 1960 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime a daunting prospect!

It's no secret that the pandemic has impacted those most vulnerable, with COVID-19 causing delays in treatment which can be potentially devastating for those suffering from cancer. Everyone deserves to access the support they need when they need it, and the below charities assist those during times of significant hardship.

Every penny that we raise during our #StrongerTogether event will be donated to:

  • St Catherines Hospice
  • The Christie NHS Foundation Trust
  • Rosemere Cancer Foundation
  • Macmillan Cancer Support

So why am I asking you for a donation? On the 24th September I am teaming up with 5 of my fellow colleagues in an attempt to: 

Pull a 9 tonne truck 125 feet... 

There will be pics, camera videos and even drone footage available… I’m sure it will make for entertaining viewing :-) 

Many thanks in advance for your kindness.
