During the past 16 years KMF (ably supported by our customers, suppliers, friends and family), have now contributed to date a total of £350,000 in various forms, to the Dougie Mac.

We have now made an ambitious commitment to add a further £25,000 to the DMH in conjunction with several local like-minded fundraisers although £50,000 would be ideal to round up the numbers!

To this end September 2023 will see us embark on a 3-day, 60-mile canoe challenge across the waterways of the Scottish Highlands from Inverness to Fort William an event usually targeted for completion over 5 days.

To increase the difficulty of the challenge, weather permitting the intention is to attempt the route in reverse so that we will paddling against the wind throughout. The trail includes navigating our way through 22 miles of man-made Canals and the challenge of portage, manually lifting fully loaded canoes around 14 lock gates on the way. The distance we will need to carry the canoes ranges from 175 to 650 mtrs!

The remaining 38 miles will be covered via sections of the Lochs, Ness, Lochy, Oich and Dochfour linked by rivers Oich, Ness and Lochy! Throughout the challenges the nights will be spent wild camping on the waters edge. Hopefully a memorable and truly unique mental and physical event.

We are constantly inspired by the work of Douglas Macmillan Hospice and wanted to support them by raising money.
