Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 3rd of October I will be struggling across the finish line of the first Scottish Kilomathon - (or Killing me tom as I like to call it).
This will be 26.2 gruelling KM and as usual I've done the absolute minmum of training am still grossly unfit and overweight and am quite likely to collapse after I've crossed the finish line.
But.......
I will finish.....
and the reason is that the Doctors, Nurses and the rest of the staff at Yorkhill Sick Childrens hospital do an absolutely top notch job. Not just in caring for the children which they do brilliantly but also in making parents of children feel at ease.
Lorna and I have been very fortunate that both Robyn and Ross have been cared for in Yorkhill and are very grateful for the job the staff did.
Robyn has been in twice once a week out of hospital when we finally got her home having been born 10 and a half weeks early then as a much bigger girl with a broken collar bone from a judo competition.
Ross has thankfully been in just the once and got to scoot along on his choice of car to the operating theatre.
With the problems in the economy the extras in places like this get squeezed hard so please dig deep and help out a worthy cause, think how grateful you would be with the support and extra care they provide if you were in with your kid.
Cheers Alan
