Hello and thank you so much for visiting our page and supporting our quest to hike the highest mountain in Britain in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. We’re recruiting a tenacious team from Vehicle Lease & Service on a charity challenge to trek Ben Nevis - Britain’s highest mountain - on Sunday 17th September 2017. 

Whether you want to join the trek team or pledge an online donation here we’re aiming for as many people as possible to take part and help raise as much as we can. Marie Curie Cancer Care is an extremely worthy cause which touches the lives of so many of us by caring for people with terminal illness. We have set an initial fundraising target of £5,000 and will be working with suppliers and customers to reach and hopefully exceed that total.

The event offers a physical challenge to all taking part as well as the chance to experience some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain. In total it’s a 12 hour trek and the summit is 1,335m or 4,212ft. On a clear day you can see Ireland and the Isle of Man. We’ll be travelling up to Fort William from our head office in Tyneside the day before then we’ll begin the hike at 6am the next morning and complete it by 6pm.

Participants need to pay £30 to register with Marie Curie Cancer Care and agree to raise £200 via this dedicated Just Giving page.

Training tips, fundraising ideas as well as an event T-shirt and medal will be provided in advance as well as support on the day from professional mountain guides and checkpoints along the route. Accommodation costs will be extra.

Thanks again! We’ll keep you updated with our fundraising and training exploits over the coming months!
