Otley AC are raising money to fight cancer and the money we raise will go to Hug On A Tray who provide invaluable support to families of people who are suffering from cancer.

They work, predominantly, in the Bexley Wing at St James' Hospital in Leeds. One of our long term members is currently battling Acute Leukemia in the Bexley Wing which has prompted our charity event. They recently completed the Chicago Marathon whilst (unknowingly) suffering from the illness - if that doesn't deserve some sponsorship we're not sure what does!

The challenge is to run/hike up The Chevin matching the equivalent height of Everest. This is approximately 48 reps from Birdcage Walk to Surprise View which hits the 8,849m elevation required. The total distance covered for a solo attempt will be over 62miles! We have several members who are going to attempt to do this within 24 hours as a solo challenge; we have teams of people who are dividing the reps up between them and we have lots of members who are going to come along and do a bit, adding to a cumulative club elevation total. Our Junior section is also going to attempt to complete one ascent of Everest between them!

There are so many people connected to the club who have suffered at the hands of cancer but we do want to say a special mention to Adam Barnes, a close friend of many members, who lost his long and brave battle against cancer in early November.

We hope any money we raise helps fight this horrible disease and helps provide some solace to family members.
