Story

Over the past few years I've had lots of trouble with chronic headaches, anxiety and depression among other things. I have recently been lucky enough to be selected for the 2024/25 Polar Academy team. Polar Academy is a charity that puts teenagers such as myself through challenging training to prepare them for a trip to Greenland where they embark on an Arctic expidition pulling sleds and conducting research, then returning to inspire others like us around the country by giving talks about our experiences.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity but is expensive to run, so I'd like to raise as much money for the charity as possible.

In September one of the things we'll be doing to raise money is the Edinburgh Kilt walk. If you can sponsor us, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!
