Iʼve raised £22,370 to Support McMillan Cancer Care
- Ben Nevis
- Funded on Thursday, 27th April 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
From the moment someone close to you tells you they have been diagnosed with cancer, you wonder how you can help in any small way....from offering support and encouragement, to just being there when they need a friend.
With that in mind, in an effort to raise much needed funds for the professionals at McMillan to assist and continue their sterling work, we will be climbing Ben Nevis 'for Elvis" on Saturday 22 April 2017.
Elvis, aka Allan Andrew, aka the President of Blantyre Bowling Club, aka the Secretary of Blantyre Bowling Club, was recently diagnosed and as such opened our eyes to the wonderful work that McMillan do.
Sadly, it took the impact of this diagnosis for many of us to reflect on the support and care offered by these wonderful volunteers to our mate.
Rather too quickly we concluded that we would climb Ben Nevis to raise funds :-), no quick sponsored walk around the park for us.
Training has now begun in earnest, and each and every one of us will do our very best, in the hope that in a small way our efforts will assist in the care and support offered to anyone in a similar situation.
Any support would be appreciated.

8 years agoABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! To everyone who has donated, myself and all the guys / gals just want to say thanks. As you'll see we have now broken thru the £10k barrier, and I am aware that there are still a couple of hefty donations still to come in. Totally gobsmacked by the support we have received, and Elvis is absolutely overwhelmed to see you all support this cause. Weekend forecast at Nevis, around -5 degrees, but with wind chill factor it will feel about -14. Everyone wrapped in cotton wool this week, no last minute injuries

8 years agoT minus 36 days!! Final furlong of training for some, for others need to get head down, arse up. As you've seen from the Cobbler.......summited by Darren, Demy, Derek, and Peter.......no easy task. I'm currently working on the weather for 22nd April, but even with my magic it's still going to be a bitch guys. We've got 5 weekends, 4 if we ignore Opening Weekend for the bowlers amongst us. Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far for this cracking cause, as we are only doing it for the money :-) can't believe anyone would do this for fun
