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

This year, on Friday November 10, 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, and in doing so, we’ll increase the total amount raised by the UK business supplies community to 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 14 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 previous 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.

If you can, please help us 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 from all the team at OPI.
