Craig's Mourne Seven Sevens Challenge for OGCancerNI

Congratulations to Craig Walker, Contracts Director at Wilsons Auctions, for completing The Original Seven Sevens Challenge in the Mourne Mountains on Saturday, August 3rd.

This demanding event spans 19 miles with an 8,500ft elevation gain, requiring participants to summit all seven peaks in the Mourne Mountains that are over 700m above sea level. It's a true test of fitness, stamina, and navigational skills.

Having participated in this event before, Craig set a goal to complete the challenge in under 10 hours. He exceeded all expectations by finishing in an impressive 8 hours and 51 minutes, surpassing his previous time.

Craig dedicated the race to the memory of his friend and colleague, Dave Penick, who passed away on 5th April 2024. Dave fought a courageous battle with oesophageal cancer during his illness.

From this, Craig has managed to raise £1000 for OG Cancer NI, a charity that offered incredible support to Dave and his family. In another show of support, Wilsons Auctions has matched Craig's efforts by donating an additional £1000

OG Cancer NI is a local charity that supports those affected by oesophagogastric cancer. Their work is vital in providing assistance, promoting communication, and advocating for patients and their families. Early detection and awareness of symptoms can save lives, and OG Cancer NI strives to educate and support our community.

You can still show your support and donate to OG Cancer NI by sponsoring Craig. https://bit.ly/4dw7aoM
