I'm only doing the run myself now as Ally can't make the event. So the page and totals have been adjusted accordingly.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 5th September 2010 Scott McLean will be taking part in the 10K Great Scottish Run.

On that day just like any other day millions of kids throughout the world will suffer from hunger.

This is a worldwide humanity problem but a Scottish Charity called Mary's Meals has a simple vision - that every needy child receives one daily meal in their place of education.

Mary's Meals aims to provides free school meals and other essential help to some of the world's poorest children.

It costs just £6.15 to feed a child in Malawi for a year. So for the sake of two pints of beer, eight litres of milk or six loaf's of bread you could provide one meal per day at school for one kid for one year.

It is my aim in the build up to the 10K race in September to fundraise enough money to provide 50 kids with meals for a year. Thats £307.50 we need to raise...but 50 kids will benefit for a whole year with a hot meal at school.

Mary’s Meals not only addresses the immediate needs of hungry children by giving them a daily meal, it also allows those children to receive an education that can provide an escape from poverty for themselves and their communities.

More information on Mary's Meals and how your money will be used can be found at http://www.marysmeals.org/index.html

Mary's Meals is a Scottish Charity that is endorsed by businessmen Sir Tom Farmer CBE and Duncan Bannatyne.
