Climb of Life 2021 · 5 November 2021

Thank you for visiting the Climb of Life 2021 Justgiving homepage. Despite the unprecedented times we are inviting you to please help us again by supporting the 33rd year of the annual event - the Climb of Life.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the OPI JustGiving page.

This year, on Friday November 5, we will join another office products industry congregation to climb many of the toughest mountains in the UK's Lake District as part of the Climb of Life (COL) initiative.

Our group will tackle 12 of the most challenging mountains in the UK, covering more than two million steps - that is a considerable distance in mountain-trekking terms. In doing so, however, we’ll increase the total amount raised to well over £1 million, financial support that is much valued and needed by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) which, in partnership with The Royal Marsden hospital, forms the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe.

For 12 years, OPI has been proud to help our industry support ICR. Sadly, during that period, two of our youngest colleagues lost courageous battles against cancer and remain uppermost in our minds.

About the event

The event sees teams climb the UK's highest Lakeland Mountains during freezing winter conditions to raise money for the global charity ICR. This short video from a recent climb will give you some idea of the conditions the OPI team will be facing.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send the money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and support this fantastic cause. And hopefully one day there won’t be a need to climb mountains in the wind and snow, and we won’t have to mourn friends, colleagues and relatives who have lost their battle against cancer.

Thank you.
