Story
Hi! I'm Zoe and I am going to run the Great Glen Way from Fort William to Inverness (approx. 76miles).
The Great Glen Way links Fort William to Inverness running alongside the Caledonian Canal and several Lochs including Loch Ness. This is not part of an organised event and I will be running on my own over the course of 3 days from 17th to the 19th August 2018 to raise funds for the fantastic Broomhill Day Centre in Penicuik where I work as a Care Support Assistant.
Broomhill provides a much needed service for our elderly members. They can enjoy social interaction, music, games and entertainment as well as a lovely nutritious lunch! Broomhill is a charity and fundraising is vital to continue the excellent service they provide. Here is what some of our members said about what Broomhill means to them ;
"It's like a family" "It means a lot to me as I get out and see other people "
"Don't know what I'd do without it, I love coming here. It fills your day and the carers are nice!"
"I miss it on the days I'm off" "It's a little Oasis"
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any donations are hugely appreciated. You will no doubt see me running with my Broomhill vest around Midlothian and any support is welcome!
Thanks again!
Zoe :-)

7 years agoI did it!!! Had very sore legs and knees but I made it. I can't believe it! It was a tough day and I wasn't sure I'd make it as I was in a fair bit of pain. Was suffering mentally and physically today. Thank you to all my wonderful workmates for all the messages and phone calls of encouragement in my last few miles, you really lifted my spirits! Thanks to my support team too, my hubby and my 2 boys, my big sis Leigh and best mate Laura. Couldn't have got through it without you all! Huge thanks again to all who have donated too! Xxx

7 years agoWell I made it to Drumnadrochit today! Another 24 miles in the bag, leaving 20 for tomorrow. I'm not going to lie though, it was brutal! Was ok for the first 10 miles or so then I got lost .......twice and was also hit with some if the toughest climbs and descents I've experienced. There were tears and swearing but I made it! Thanks again for all your support and donations. You are wonderful people making a difference to a wonderful cause. Thank you! Xxx
