Many Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page, I really appreciate your support and kind donation. This donation will help turn local children's frowns upside down.

I made 2 personal resolutions for 2017:-

1. Get fitter, and complete various 10K races. I joined Jog Scotland Kintore in January, and currently attend weekly training sessions. 

2. Carry out volunteer work with Befriend a Child, I joined the charity in February, where I meet with a child on a fortnightly basis. We have fun during our various planned activities.

With the support of Jog Scotland Kintore, I am now much fitter. My original plan was to 2 run Garioch and Baker 10Ks only. After completing Garioch, I signed up for, and completed Balmoral 10K.

I decided to change my running target from 20K to 100K, and booked various local 10K races, including my first 10mile run at Ballater. The final race to complete the 100K target will be my first Half Marathon on Sunday 19th November @ Fraserburgh. 

Befriend a Child support children and young people growing up in difficult circumstances, to help them develop into confident and competent adults, and reach their full potential.

They support children from 4-16 years, who often come from troubled family backgrounds, of parental or sibling drug and alcohol abuse, emotional, financial and/or physical problems.

My role as Befriender, is to be positive adult role model. I meet with my friend on fortnightly basis. This will involve approx. 2-3 hours per visit, and for a minimum of 12 month period.

I engage in a range of fun, everyday activities, which most people take for granted. We have visited the Science Centre, Cinema, Codonas, Doonies Farm and also attended WWE Live at AECC.

With the help of this donation, BaC arrange annual Summer Outing, Halloween Party, and Christmas Party. They also run Play Schemes, Youth Clubs and Support Groups.
