We are delighted to be taking part in the Dare2Dip Challenge supporting CancerCare.
This year CancerCare have asked us to take the plunge, get out of our comfort zones and into some very chilly water! Whilst there are lots of ways people can take part in this fund-raising activity, we thought as desk dwellers we would up the ante and take on one of Grunnill Fitness’ adventure trails, before submerging ourselves in a tarn at the top of a hill. To make this even harder we are starting our adventure at the end of the day on Friday 17th November as light falls and finishing in the dark.
With the assistance of personal trainer Emma Grunnill, who was recently placed 3rd in Natural World’s strongest woman, we will be warming up before embarking on our walk and then bracing ourselves for a fresh dip in the tarn.
Rebecca Lauder, Partner commented:
“As soon as we heard about Dare2Dip we knew we were up to the challenge. We briefly discussed ice baths in the office car park but thought we could make this even tougher. CancerCare is a brilliant charity which is close to our hearts at BSG Solicitors, one of my business partners, Emma Edwards, is on the board of trustees and we’re always keen to show our support.”
This year marks CancerCare’s 40th Anniversary. Over the last four decades, they have helped tens of thousands of people find the strength to face the future after the devastation of a cancer diagnosis or death of a loved one. It costs nearly £2m each year to provide free professional therapy to local people and more than 90% of this comes from public donations.
