Some of you may already have read this on rocktalk, but I feel having a tread on here too makes sense.
There is a new charity set up by peak based climbers
We are all probably aware that 1 in 4 people will get Cancer at some point in their life.
It strikes people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels.
Challenge Cancer through Adventure was established by a group of climbers living in the Peak, 7 of who have or have had cancer.
Through their adventure based fundraising, which has been supported by other local climbers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts, they aimed to raise £50,000 to establish a fund to support other people diagnosed with cancer or a terminal illness to 'live their dream'
In their first year they have raised over £20,000.
Through their personal achievements and philosophy they hope to inspire other people effected by cancer to remain positive and active.
Their next fund raising event 'The Derwent Dambuster Challenge' a 10 mile run around the Derwent Dams takes place on May 20th
