24 miles for the Cancer Brown Dog charity

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

 The Cancer Brown Dog  charity was formed in 2000 by former cancer patients Mark Storer with Peter Little and Anil Patel.

The aim of the charity is to raise much needed funds for men, women and children that suffer from Cancer. Every penny raised goes towards helping someone less fortunate.

Anglian recently sponsored Natalie May who was one of 62 people that came together to raise money for the charity by completing an incredible walk which covered 8 peaks within the Peak District and finishing at Scafell Pike peak. That’s 24 miles in 14 hours which is a phenomenal challenge.

Natalie speaking after the walk had this to say:

“Everything went really well thank you. We started off at 4am and despite the training that I had undertaken, nothing could have prepaired me for the challenge that lay ahead.  We achieved our goal of climbing 8 mountains in 14 hours, the last mountain being Scafell Pike – the highest peak in England!!  It was an amazing day and I am very proud to have been a part of a team of volunteers who between us raised just over £69,000.00 for the Brown Dog Charity raising money for people with Cancer, a cause very close to my heart, thankyou Anglian Home Improvements for sponsoring me along with many members of Anglian staff.”
