Check out some of the exciting adventures cancer research supporters have taken in the past: Last year ACRF supporters Olwen Bradford-Cowling, Carol Simpson and Maggie Neale headed off to beautiful Vietnam on an inspired cycling adventure in support of cancer research. Before boarding on their adventure, Olwen wrote to ACRF about her motivations for the trip and for supporting Cancer Research. Read her story here. In 2008 showing just how varied ACRF’s charity challenge program can be, three intrepid supporters took part in three very different, but equally exciting, adventures in support of cancer research: Robert Lundie conquered Mt Kilimanjaro, Lyndall Banks journeyed across the Himalayas, and Sharmaine Squire trekked China’s Great Wall. Read the full story here. Previously on the 2007 Great Wall of China Trek a team of 19 adventurers, including corporate group “The China Dolls” from Allco Finance Group, headed off for six days of trekking together over the diverse terrain and unique scenery of China. Together the group raised over $155,000 for cancer research, making this charity challenge one of the most successful charity treks ever! Read more about the 2007 Great Wall of China Trek. On the Great Wall 2006 Adventure, five adventure challengers trekked across some of the most remote and breathtaking sections of the Great Wall of China, taking part in ACRF’s first ever charity challenge trip. “The Great Wall of China charity challenge was an amazing experience that will stay with me forever.” Read more about the 2006 ACRF Great Wall of China charity challenge.
