Participants in the Ulster Cancer Foundation’s Ben Nevis walk will reach £1 million
raised over the last five years when the next walk begins in August. 3,000 people
have scaled the 4,408ft summit since the walks began in 2000. 
Neill Granger, Development
Officer with UCF, said the Ben Nevis challenge was one of their most successful 
events.

“This money will provide a better future for people with cancer in Northern Ireland,
by helping fund our vital patience care services, cancer research and cancer prevention
campaigns, ” he said.

This year the event will take place over four weekends, departing 19th August, 16th
September, 30th September and 14th October.
