Last year, my friend’s partner passed away after a brief illness. Before they passed, they were cared for by the wonderful staff at St Columba’s Hospice, Edinburgh.

This year I am going to run the Scottish Half Marathon and the Great Scottish Run to raise funds for St Columba’s as a way of thanking them for the incredible work they do.

The vast majority of St Columba’s funds come from donations, and I would be really grateful if you could support them by donating in order that other families can gain the benefit of their care. 

Thanks!
