The Med Steps 5 Challenge is a regular feature on the Gibraltar Social Calendar, and the fifth edition of the challenge took place here last weekend. The event raises much needed funds for the Gibraltar Cancer Relief Centre which offers medical, practical and emotional support to patients being treated for cancer as well as their families. 

The challenge sees competitors climb the Med Steps in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve five times either in teams of five as a relay or individually. Last year I had a go and took my microphone along with me, in this podcast episode you can hear how I got on - it was very hard work!!

The Med Steps 5 Challenge is organised by the Gibraltar Prison Service with the help of many local businesses who sponsor the event. To find out more about the Med Steps 5 Challenge, please look for their page on Facebook.
