The MedSteps5Challenge, the Prison Service’s annual charity event and a firm fixture on the Rock’s community event calendar will take place on 20^th April 2024 and will be sponsored by Chestertons and Sovereign Wealth.

The initiative sees participants attempt to climb the Med Steps from one to five times in a day in a bid to raise money for Cancer Relief Gibraltar.

Over £100,000 has been collected for the charity in the nine years since the event began.

Organiser Mark Cooper commented: “Generous sponsorship now means the MedSteps5Challenge can attract an even greater following, with all participants now receiving a quality event T-shirt with their £15 entry fee. Any participant who raises more than £150 through JustGiving, will get free entry including a T Shirt. On completion of three or five laps, participants will also receive a medal. Mark added that 100% of funds raised go to Cancer Relief Gibraltar.

Chestertons’ Paul Duck, Managing Director commenting, "Chestertons is thrilled to be part of the 10^th anniversary MedSteps5Challenge, and we're excited to join hands with the organisers and sponsors to make this event even more remarkable for the benefit of Cancer Relief, a charity close to our hearts.”
