This September, MEP Managing Director Ben Leigh is taking on a challenge that is both daring and deeply meaningful: abseiling down the 11-storey Liverpool Cancer Hospital.
Ben is joining the Clatterbridge Abseil 2025, a fundraising event in support of the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. The hospital holds personal significance for Ben, and he is taking on this challenge to give back in a powerful and symbolic way.
Despite a fear of heights and no previous abseiling experience, Ben will step off the roof of the same building where his cancer journey began just one year ago. Now in remission, he is returning not for treatment, but to help fund life-saving care for others.
Support Ben’s challenge
Ben’s goal is to raise £500 for the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. The charity funds pioneering cancer research, vital treatments, and essential services that make a real difference to patients and families across the region.
You can support him by:
- Donating or reading Ben’s story
- Sharing his fundraising page with others
- Leaving a message of encouragement on his JustGiving page
Every contribution helps, and every share spreads the message even further.
