This year marks 20 years since our Mum, Mairi, passed away. Over that time, the three of us have challenged ourselves in order to raise money for Cancer Research. Lots of you have helped us in doing exactly that, supporting us (or joining us - Kat!) with a half marathon for Mum’s 10th anniversary and a marathon five years ago.  Thank you! 

As 20 years approaches and we try to go beyond our previous totals, we need a little help once more. This time, however, we would love our friends and family to join us and put in some Miles for Mairi! We are each going to set an individual challenge which we will complete 20 times in the period between Mum's anniversary on April 15th and her birthday on May 23rd (five weeks). To reach as many people as possible and to raise as much for Cancer Research as we can, we are asking you all to do the same! You set your own challenge and appreciating lots of folk don’t run, this can be anything you want. Run, walk, cycle, swim, row, paddle …  be as creative as you want. Challenge yourself and please ask people to support us, and you! We hope to raise as much as possible in 2022.

This is our shared Just Giving page - the link can be shared far and wide! We will keep the bio updated with a list of those participating and their challenges!

As a final challenge, we are planning a 20 mile run on Sunday, May 22nd. Closer to the time, we will share a route (around Troon) and all are welcome to join for all, some or a drink at the finish. 

Thank you all for joining us, helping us share the message, getting sponsorship for CRUK and supporting us in remembering Mum.
