Story
I'm running the Paris Marathon in support of the Hibernian Community Foundation! 💚
Every other day I run around my neighbourhood in preparation for this marathon, so I wanted to pick a charity that values this community and the people in it. Living far from home, community has become very important to me, and the community I've found in Leith is unmatched. The Hibs Community Foundation gives back directly to that neighbourhood.
About the Hibs Community Foundation:
Hibernian Football Club was formed in 1875 the funds raised from games were used to support the local community. These values are as alive today in the Community Foundation as they were almost 150 years ago.
