Autac MD, David Lowe, Takes on Kilimanjaro Trek for Prevent Breast Cancer
At Autac, we believe in pushing boundaries—not just in our work, but in supporting causes that are close to our hearts. This year, our Managing Director, David Lowe, is embarking on a remarkable journey to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Prevent Breast Cancer.
For David, this trek is deeply personal. It's a tribute to his late sister-in-law, Julie Wright, and a testament to his family’s commitment to making a difference. Julie, the sister of both David’s wife and Autac co-owner Sallie Lowe, tragically passed away in 2013 at the age of 51 after a four-year battle with breast cancer.
Reflecting on this loss, David shared: “In 2013, my sister-in-law, Julie, tragically passed away at the age of 51 after a four-year battle with breast cancer. Our family was heartbroken, and we decided to support Prevent Breast Cancer by participating in their Everest Base Camp Trek in 2019, raising £11K. The experience was both unbelievable and inspiring. I highly recommend anyone considering the trek to take part and raise money for this incredible cause.”
That trek to Everest Base Camp raised an incredible £11,000 for Prevent Breast Cancer. Now, David is preparing to scale the heights of Kilimanjaro, continuing the family’s dedication to raising awareness and funds for this important charity.
Prevent Breast Cancer is the only UK charity entirely focused on predicting and preventing the disease. Their work aligns with David’s goal of honoring Julie’s memory while contributing to a future free from breast cancer.
David’s Kilimanjaro challenge is not just a personal quest but an opportunity to inspire others to take action and support life-saving research. As he tackles this demanding climb, we at Autac are incredibly proud to stand behind him and cheer him on every step of the way.
