With 1 in 2 of us predicted to be affected by cancer in our lifetime, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland want to support local people and their families through their cancer journey. Your donation will help them to continue providing services like their counselling service, their driving service, their family support sessions, their art therapy and much more. As a local charity, they are 90% dependent on donations so your support is vital.

I’m taking part in the Cancer Focus NI Mourne Seven Summits this Summer. On Saturday the 15th of June, at around 7am, I will begin climbing all 7 summits that are over 829 metres elevation in the Mourne mountains in the following order:

Slieve Donard (850m)

Slieve Commedagh (765m)

Slieve Bernagh (727m)

Slieve Meelmore (704m)

Slieve Meelberg (708m)

Slieve Binnian (747m)

Slieve Lamagan (704m)

This is expected to take somewhere between 8-12 hours, depending on conditions. I will cover a total distance of 30.52km and climb a total elevation of 2579m.

I am raising money for Cancer Focus NI who do a fantastic job of supporting people and their families that are affected by cancer. Cancer is something that has likely affected all of us whether it be personally or through a friend, colleague or family member. Any donations would of course be greatly appreciated.

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 your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks,

John
