Out of Africa!

Well done to the team of amazing fundraisers led by Ray Montgomery who have just returned from successfully climbing Kilimanjaro in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Over the past 6 years, following the death of valued colleague, Vera Cameron, colleagues, friends and family of Vera have embarked on a range of challenges to raise funds for a number of cancer charities.

After Maggie’s Monster Bike and Hike, Ben Nevis Charity Challenge, West Highland Way and climbing the three highest peaks in the UK, 9 intrepid adventurers put their best feet forward and flew out to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

Ray said: “It was an incredible experience which challenged us all. Walking from the base up to the summit included a range of extreme temperatures from tropical heat to -10 at the mountain top. I would like to thank all of our supporters over the years who have helped with our training, event preparation and of course with their generosity for our fund raising.”

Since 2012, the fundraisers have raised more than £70,000 for cancer charities.
