Story

We are running to raise money for Scottish Huntingtons Association which helps provide support to families and individuals with Huntington's Disease all across Scotland.  

In simple terms Huntingtons disease is a generic condition that damages nerve cells in the brain causing them to stop working properly. It’s very similar to Parkinson’s although not as well known.  Currently there is no cure or anything to slow down this horrible disease however with the latest technologies and various clinical trials happening there seems to be more positivity that will hopefully one day lead to a cure. Unfortunately we’ve lost both our mum, gran and our uncle is suffering from this disease so we want to raise as much money as possible for them and everyone else suffering from this disease. 

My brother and wife are also running. We have separate links however we are all going to put into one pot  

Every donation counts, especially the  small ones in these difficult times! . 

Thanks again for all your support and we will keep you updated with our progress! Thanks again
