Story

On the 22nd of August myself, Sean Armstrong, Sean Houston, Camy Irvine, Chris fox, Callum Grant, and Wullie Harrison will be climbing Ben Nevis while raising money for Maggies cancer care. We will be continuing the fundraising started by my mum (Jackie Armstrong). My mum was diagnosed with cancer in April 2010 and spent the next 10 years battling it, managing to beat it twice before it unfortunately returned for a third time. During this time she received care at the maggies centre in Edinburgh, after returning home this is when she decided to start fundraising with a goal of £5000. She quickly achieved this goal and decided that she would now like to raise £100,000 for charity. She organised lots of various charity events such as zip wires across the river Nith, a sky dive, various themed charity nights, bag packs at local supermarkets and sponsored walks. She was so determined to raise money for charity that she even organised events from her hospital bed! She manage to raise a huge £85,500 for charity before unfortunately passing away in February 2020. Our goal is to continue her charity work to help raise the remaining money in her memory to reach her £100,000 goal. Any donations would be greatly appreciated for such a great cause.
