Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We have completed our challenge to run a daily 5k #Moirathon for a month to raise funds as part of the Miles for Maggie’s campaign -  but you can still donate until the end of August. We had so much fun covering more than 100 miles of trails, taking different routes, spending time together and sharing the experience. Our next challenge is to stay active every day - starting by cycling to hospital to visit Moira. 

This challenge has been  perfect for us because Moira has always been active and loves running, wild swimming, cycling and being in the outdoors. Her favourite thing is planning our family adventures. Last autumn, she took part in the Loch Tay triathlon but was completely exhausted by it. It was the trigger to visit our GP, and after tests she was diagnosed with a rare and incurable Neuroendocrine cancer. Moira remains positive, but the disease - and lockdown - mean she has been receiving wonderful care in Edinburgh's Western General Hospital for most of the last month.

We first visited Maggie’s the day after Moira's diagnosis. We really did not expect this to happen to us but from the moment we walked in, the people at Maggie's were fantastic and helped us come to terms with what was going on with emotional and practical support. Cancer is not a straight line and there are many diversions along the way. Alongside family and friends, Maggie's has been a big part of our safety net and knowing they are there for us has helped take  some of the pressure off. Running for Maggie's is a great opportunity for myself, Euan and Jamie to be active, to show our support and to give something back to Maggie's. Over the next month, we will pick a 5k route near our house that is a bit off the beaten path or has a point of interest - running our #Moirathon is about the journey not the time. We will cover the 288 miles between Maggie's Centres in Scotland and share our adventures along the way. Thank you for reading this and, if you are able, for making a donation. Why not do your own #Moirathon and let us know how you get on? Tag me on Twitter @robflett #Moirathon
