Climbers Against Cancer

Climbers Against Cancer was founded in 2012 by John Ellison after he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Although John sadly lost his battle in 2015, his legacy lives on through the dedication of our five trustees and one staff member, who continue to drive our mission forward.
To date, we have donated over £500,000 to cancer research centres and projects across the globe, from Scotland to Canada and many places in between.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our amazing partners, including Entre-Prises, Climbskin, Equip UK, Ellis Brigham, and many more.
We always welcome new sponsors, so if you or your company would like to get involved, please reach out to our team for more details.
Though we are a small charity, our impact spans the world. We are proud to be the chosen charity of the IFSC and the global climbing community.
