Story

Oh ya hoor sir, it's me Windy Wilson Scotland's greatest ever AMATEUR weatherman and fundraiser. Look me up on Social Media  

I used to fund raise through my charity golf days until I started running in June 2018, after being inspired by my wife Gusty, who ran the hottest ever London marathon in April 2018. Now all my fundraising comes through me running Marathons and Ultra Marathons for charity 

As a Diabetic, my main charity will always be Diabetes UK. However, from time to time I like to fund raise for other charities. To date I've raised about £130,000 pounds for - Diabetes Scotland. SAMH. CHAS Scotland. The SCAA. The RNLI. The local Scout Group. Diabetes UK and Prostate Cancer UK . . . But CHAS Scotland holds a place dear in my heart, not for personal reasons but for the wonderful work they do all over Scotland 

Kilimanjaro has been on my Bucket List for a while now, and when the opportunity presented itself, it was to good an offer to turn down . . . So here I am trekking up the highest free standing mountain in the world for CHAS Scotland . . . This will be a massive undertaking for me as a 55 year old Diabetic (it's my birthday during the trek) but I'm going to give it my best shot 

I've set my target at £25,000 pounds but I hope to raise a lot more than this, especially through CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

If your're a company or a business and want to sponsor "me". Then please email me at windywilson88@googlemail.com . . . I'll be looking for things like my clothing & equipment to be sponsored, which will be endorsed with your logo in return. I'll also have a flag / banner type thingy that'll I'll be flying at the summit. This will have squares on it which will be getting sold off. Again in return for your logo & contact details 

And as always. Thanks for all your support. Lots of love ~ Windy, Gusty, young Windy, and the dogs Kane & Murphy
