I'm Kilted Leonie! I am raising funds for a charity close to my heart, the Scottish Cot Death Trust.

Like many, we (the Kilted Mooney team) had our big fundraising event cancelled this year, which was the Glasgow Kiltwalk. We are proposing to do our own Kiltwalk on the 15th of July.

I am walking in memory of my Son, and Caitlin's (Kilted Caitlin's) Brother, Stephen Thomas Mooney, who I sadly lost to cot death in 1991. Now more than ever, charities need our support, and we felt we couldn't wait until next year to take part in a big fundraiser for our chosen two. We also felt it was irresponsible to partake in a mass event any time soon and agreed to do our own virtual event instead, where we can social distance acceptably. We are awaiting a response from Kiltwalk to see that they honour our efforts for this.

We also wanted to note that some people have already supported this event through the EverydayHero page which was set up by Kiltwalk, and want to stress that you do not need to redonate here. This page was closed and we raised roughly £200 between our two charities. We want to reopen this fundraiser here to hopefully reach our £500 target.

Our route will take us from Lambhill in Glasgow, to the Kelpies in Falkirk, along the Forth and Clyde Canal NCR754 Cycle Route/Path, which is roughly 24 miles. We will be documenting our training and you will soon find us on Strava. We will also work to set up a live stream of the big day!

The Scottish Cot Death Trust is Scotland's only charity dedicated to sudden and unexpected death in infancy and young children.

They provide:
Support for those affected
Education resources for parents & professionals
Research & development funding
