Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been fortunate throughout my life to have lost no loved ones and to have grown up without requiring any support from charities or third parties. My wife's Gran, Mary McKee has not been so lucky. She has directly lost her father, two brothers, uncle, nephew and various cousins through MND. 

In total, 12 members of Mary’s family line have been diagnosed with various illnesses which would be categorised under the umbrella of MND and for 30 years she organised the Cumbrae cycle which has raised several hundred thousand pounds for MND. She has also been treasurer of the Ayrshire branch of MND Scotland and she is massively inspirational.

I have run, cycled, and walked the fundraiser at Cumbrae for 5 years now and would like to do something to raise further funds. Mary turned 90 this year and I would like to use my passion (running) to raise funds for the charity which supports those suffering from a disease she has been so affected by, and which she still continues to promote.

Over the next 2 years I will aim to complete 6 of Scotland's best long-distance walks, by running each of them. Each will have a time limit from 24 - 36 hours to complete. I will have a supporting team with me who will be running with me or assisting with hydration/food/encouragement. 

The routes I have chosen are:

Arran Coastal Trail                      62 miles       3rd Oct 2020    12:25:08

Speyside Way (alt route)           78 miles       27 Feb 2021      14:38:02

Ayrshire Coastal Path                 92 miles      29 May 2021      19:25:15

West Highland Way                     62 Miles     2nd Oct 2021       16Hours  

Skye Trail                                      80 miles    26th March 2022  21 Hours

Speyside Way                              60 miles  16th July 2022      12 Hours

Cumbrae Cycle                              75 miles       02 October 2022

It seems only fitting to finish with the Cumbrae cycle. 

Any money given to this page will be taken with extreme gratitude, it is over a 2 year period I am doing this so if you want to wait until I am finished them all that is entirely up to you. Pay a little after each event, at the start or whenever you can. 

I will be updating this page and posting on my Instagram(glee2401) and Strava pages regularly (strava.com/athletes/3314657).

Thanks in advance!
