On the 9th July 2024, I lost my dad John Duncan due to accidental drowning in the Maldives.

Never did I think at 26 I would lose a parent, especially in this way and it’s been tough. However, the JD would have told me to get a fkn grip of masel, which is why I’m getting back to it and doing my 3rd kiltwalk, in memory of him and for a great cause.

Here’s to you da, hope am doing you proud.
