Raby Estates supports an annual charity event to raise money for the Institute of Cancer Research by participating in a “Human Mountain Endeavour” on the Lakeland fells. Last year a team of walkers from Raby successfully completed a trek in the Buttermere fells and raised around £6000.
One third of us will be touched by cancer in our lifetime. The Institute of Cancer Research https://www.icr.ac.uk/ is a charitable academic working body with over 300 scientists and has taken more drugs into clinical trials in the last decade than any other organisation worldwide. As you may recall, Professor Paul Workman from the Institute addressed our annual staff meeting earlier this year to explain more about their wonderful work and staggering achievements in the field of cancer treatment. We are therefore proud to be supporting such a worthy cause once again this year.
This annual event involves teams from businesses located across the north of England ascending Lakeland’s highest mountains in early winter conditions.
The event has raised more than £1.9 million for the Institute and other charities over the past 37 years. This year’s event takes place on Friday 14th November and with your help we would like to make this another record-breaking year. We’ve been given the challenge of climbing Bowfell and Crinkle Crags at the head of the Great Langdale valley in the heart of the Lake District.
