Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

One of our supervisors here in the construction division of W. H. Malcolm, Jamie Brodie, is trying to raise funds for charity and we are trying to help him as much as we can.

James has a 23-year-old daughter Justine (see the beautiful picture below), who herself is a mum to a daughter of 18 months. In November 2011, Justine contracted encephalitis which left her in a coma for 4 months and fighting for her life on numerous occasions. As a direct result, she will now require intensive rehabilitation.

Due to the financial constraints on the NHS, several pieces of equipment are unavailable but vital to her recovery, firstly a tilt table and then a specialist wheelchair, the list goes on; her family and friends are trying to raise the necessary funds. Justine is currently still in hospital.

The South Street construction office has already raised over £2,000 through various events. If one office can do this, how much can we raise if we spread this out to all our contacts and friends across the industry?

As you may know, a select group of athletes (in their own minds) have in the past taken up a challenge to raise funds for worthy causes. So, the 'Malcolm Marchers' will again put their bodies through the pain barrier, so you can all laugh at the state of them fro the week after the event!

The Challenge - Not for the faint hearted, on Saturday 28th July, we are going to do Ben Nevis the hard way. No, not the North Face, none of us are that mad! However, there is a route from the east via the Munro of Carn Mor Derarg and then across the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. For those of you in the know this is classed as one of the 10 most terrifying ridge walks in the country and is not for the faint hearted. To explain to those who don't try this sort of thing, it's a ridge of rock no wider than a table with a minimum 2000ft drop either side; one step the wrong way and you will become yet another statistic in the long list of people who don't give the Scottish Mountains the respect they are due. This is a 20km walk which will take 12 hours to complete, in this time you will climb and descent a massive 1600m, nearly a vertical mile.

Hopefully this has encouraged you to dig deep and help this very worthy cause. We are sure the family would be extremely grateful if you gave this cause some consideration.

Thanks, The Malcolm Marchers
