Story

Thanks for your support with my London Marathon JustGiving challenge!

After a 5 year break since my last marathon I decided it was time to get the running shoes back out in aid of a great cause.  As many of you know, I’ve been an active supporter of Alzheimer Scotland for over a decade now, first getting involved when I saw, first hand, how much my late granny benefitted from the great work that the charity do!

Now, my other granny is living with dementia, and she would be lost without her 3x weekly visits to the Solas day centre in Stornoway, as much as we’d be lost without the fantastic support we as a family receive from Alzheimer Scotland.

I decided that turning 30 and getting married wasn’t quite enough to keep me going this year, so here we are...and I’d really appreciate any donation, big or small...it really helps when you start to see the fundraising total going up as you drag yourself out for the 2-3hr training runs on cold winter nights!


My page donations will be sent direct to the charity in a fast and secure way. Its efficient, saves time and cuts costs for the charity. Let's do this!
