SME MEMBER OPI LEAD BY STEVE HILLEARD HEAD TO THE LAKE DISTRICT TO CLIMB FOR FUNDS FOR THE INSTITUTE OF CANCER RESEARCH (ICR).

The event is not for the faint-hearted – the mountains are high, the weather is harsh, and the going can be tough. This short video from a previous climb will give you a taste of what we face each year: Watch here.

For them, this challenge is deeply personal. They will be climbing in memory of two much-liked colleagues whose lives were cut short by cancer, and in solidarity with everyone facing this disease right now, including one of their current teammates. The cold, the wind, and the long hours on the trail are nothing compared to the daily battles that cancer patients endure.

For 16 years, OPI has been proud to help our industry support ICR, raising more than £300,000 in that time. But they haven’t beaten cancer yet so please will you consider supporting our efforts with a donation? Any amount is gratefully received during these challenging times.

Supporting us could not be easier – simply donate online via the site below or send a pledge amount to Steve by email.
