Zip for lymphoma!
Join Team Lymphoma on our incredible double zip challenge during Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
Date: 21 Sept 2024
Location: Penrhyn Quarry - North Wales vs Bluewater- Kent
Suggested sponsorship target: £300
Prepare for a truly unique and exhilarating experience:
Last September, 40 brave souls - nurses, staff, family, friends and corporate partners - took on the fastest zip line in the world in a somewhat windswept quarry in North Wales. Not only did they conquer their fears, but they raised more than £20,000 in the process! That’s enough to ensure that 1,000 people receive vital support and information from our specialist Helpline Team.
This Blood Cancer Awareness Month we are back and things are getting serious! Not one zip….but two! And for you, just one choice…. Are you Team Laura or Team Amy?
Join Laura in Wales and take on the fastest zip line in the world in Snowdonia, across the Penrhyn Quarry.
Or join Amy in Kent and tackle the longest zip line in England, flying across the lake at Bluewater.
Opposite sides of the country on the same day, with one goal in mind: to get our adrenaline pumping and fly for Blood Cancer Awareness Month, raising much needed awareness as well as funds.
Places on our zip teams are free and all you need to do is commit to raising a minimum of £300 (that’s just £20 from 15 of your family and friends!) to help us support the vital work that we do to ensure that no one faces lymphoma alone.
£300 could provide information to 100 people recently diagnosed with lymphoma
Places on both teams are limited, so don't delay! Our Fundraising Team are here to support all your efforts, both on and off the wire!
Velocity 2 - the fastest zip line in the world!
Travelling across 1,555 metres at speeds of over 100mph, surrounded by breathtaking views, this is an unforgettable experience.
Hangloose Bluewater- the longest zip line in England!
Travelling over 700 metres at a height of over 100 metres, you'll be soaring over the lakes and through the chalk cliffs - the closest you'll get to actually flying!lying.

Karen Bonell, our Services Manager, loved her zipping experience last year and will be there again this year:
I really challenged my fear of heights - and flying for that matter - and loved every moment. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. We had patients, carers, volunteers and nurses in our team and we will never forget it!
