The BraveHart Challenge 2013

The BraveHart Challenge 2013 12/07/2013 - 14/07/2013
12:00 am
Ben Nevis, Fort William

On 14 July 2009, amidst operation after operation, John momentarily stopped breathing requiring resuscitation by doctors. Then, one year to the day later, still weak from treatment, John made good a promise to himself to successfully climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles.

It was a feat he achieved in the company of friends, family and fundraisers from across the UK, declaring at the summit, “I’m a survivor”, and it marked the first ever BraveHart Ben Nevis Challenge. A challenge that John and his supporters repeated in 2012.

The 2013 Challenge beckons - and you’re invited. Join John from Friday 12 July to Sunday 14 July for what promises to be a fun-filled weekend with a great cause at its heart: increasing awareness of testicular cancer and raising funds for those living with cancer.

To join John on his 2013 BraveHart Ben Nevis Challenge, click the link below to register and one of the team will be in touch. Numbers are limited so to guarantee your place, sign up today.
