Well, here we go again! This is the third time I am running 20 miles and cycling 30 from the west to the east coast. It seems a hell of a long way when you are on one of the dozens of buses taking us super athletes from Beauly to the start at Morvich....probably because it is! My main fear - apart from passing out en route - is getting a puncture. Will just have to get a fireman to help out if that happens. Local charities benefiting this year include Chest, Heart & Stroke, Blythswood Care, Leonard Cheshire and Shopmobility Highland.  It's such a buzz when you come across a minibus with "donated by Highland Cross" written on it. Thanks very much for your generosity once again. I really appreciate it. Anne Marie
