Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Due to Covid-19, our Alps trip this year has been cancelled, so instead, as a club we are aiming to collectively run/walk/cycle the ~1000 mile distance we would normally drive to get there. We hope to use our daily exercise to get outside and raise a bit of money for the wonderful Simon Community Scotland! We aim to do this huge challenge in one week (30/05/20 - 06/06/20), and are excited to try and do our bit in the current situation.

Simon Community Scotland work everyday to combat the causes and effects of homelessness, and help people facing extremely difficult circumstances, offering a range of support and services across the country. The covid pandemic has hit all of us, but can be particularly devastating for those that this charity supports. So by walking 500 miles, and 500 more, we hope to give a little hope and support!

 Any donation is hugely appreciated, not just by us, but by Simon Community Scotland!!

You can follow our progress on our facebook page (Glasgow University Canoe Club) or instagram (@gusacanoe).
