In recognition of Blood Cancer Awareness Month every September, the amazing MPC Peakers take on the Munro Challenge, stepping their way to help us beat blood cancer. They’ve climbed the Scottish Munros, trotted around the circumference of the Earth and even gone intergalactic with a trip to the moon as part of the 2023 ‘Moonro’ Challenge! Every step counts because the team are helping us to support the 250,000 people living with blood cancer in the UK and fund critical research that benefits patients worldwide. Blood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma – and Peaker steps help fund research into each type.

MPC has always been about pushing boundaries and the 2024 challenge was no different. Peakers took on Walking Coast to Coast celebrating their beautiful global community by walking the coasts of the six continents of the world.

“The support of Sam and the whole MPC community of Peakers is so valued by everyone at Blood Cancer UK and people affected by blood cancer. It’s amazing to see the movement, and in particular the annual Munro Challenge during Blood Cancer Awareness Month, bringing together communities from across the globe and empowering people to live healthier and happier lives whilst also raising such an incredible amount of money for Blood Cancer UK. Thanks to their support we will be able to beat blood cancer sooner.” — Helen Rowntree, Chief Executive of Blood Cancer UK
