John Ellison, CAC Founder, was inspired to found the charity whilst sat amongst friends from around the globe at the World Climbing Championships in Paris. It became clear to him just how unique climbing is as a sport and how special we are as climbers. No matter what nationality, creed or colour there is a natural desire to support each other and encourage one another to succeed. We have stayed true to John’s vision for CAC as a global charity, and of the more than £500,000 we have donated in our first decade, more than 80% has funded projects outside the UK:
To celebrate this fact, and bring together the climbing community across the world, we’ve launched our latest T-shirt design: Climbers Across Continents Against Cancer
This features ‘Climbers Against Cancer‘ translated into more than 20 languages from around the globe:
