Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have been in training for the Moonwalk (half marathon) in Edinburgh, so am quite confident about my ability to walk 5k...however add into that a 5 year old, a 3 year old and an 18 month old (weighing in at about 14Kilos), and it all starts to look more interesting!  My plan is for Aidan to walk the entire 5K.  I'm hoping that his wee sister Ishbel will walk maybe half the distance and be pushed for the remainder.  When she is not in the pushchair I am intending on plopping Caitlin into it to give my back a break.  Caitlin and I recently hiked for 2 miles with her on my back...at the end of which I was knackered and she was very squirmy.

Anyway, I am determined to raise a lot of money by completing this event.  I love Coll and think that it will really benefit from the proposed new community centre, quite rightly called  An Cridhe, meaning the Heart.  In making your sponsorship, you can decide to sponsor us as individuals or as a family...please indicate your preference in the personal comments section...might lead to a bit of inter-family rivalry!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Development Coll gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
