Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Varian Medical Systems UK JustGiving page. 

The VMS UK Snowdon Challenge involves cycling 17km, trekking 15km and canoeing 4km, all to be completed within 12 hours, on May 14th 2016!  This is a challenging 'trek', both mentally and physically, testing the entire muscle range. BUT... we're not just doing it for fun. We are raising money for the VMS UK Charity of the Year, Canine Partners for Independence.  The money we raise will go towards training Digby, a Labrador puppy, to become a Canine Partner and help transform the life of a person with a disability. 

Canine Partners facilitate independence to those that would otherwise rely on carers and they give comfort, love and a reason to get up in the morning.  We call them "four-legged superheroes".

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Your details are safe with JustGiving; they will never sell them or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they will send your money directly to the charity, so it's the most efficient way to donate, saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  Please remember to add Gift Aid!
