Cherry Orchard Publishing’s Jackie Collins has set herself quite the challenge this year
Greeting card publisher MD Jackie will be taking on the Mourne Mountains 7 Peaks Challenge this autumn, raising funds for charity Action Cancer.
Jackie said: ”Having climbed the 3 Peaks back in 2017 (and because of my Irish roots), I’d always wanted to climb the ‘fourth’ peak, Slieve Donard, in Northern Ireland.
”Eight years later, the perfect opportunity popped up and I can combine raising money for a wonderful charity close to our family’s heart, get fit and tick one more off the bucket list!’’
Jackie will attempt to climb seven of the highest peaks in the Mourne Mountains on September 13, and aims to raise £750.
Action Cancer provides prevention, detection and support services, and as a local charity, all money donated stays within Northern Ireland.
For every £1 raised, 82p is spent on providing the range of much-needed services. The charity must raise £4 million each year in order to provide free services to users including breast screening for women aged 40-49 and 70+ (outside the NHS range), skin cancer detection, health checks, counselling services and therapeutic services.
