Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Museum Marathon Edinburgh is part of the programme of events for the Scottish Festival of Museums.

I will be taking part in a sponsored walk following a route along many of the city’s museums and galleries, to raise money for charity. As the date also falls during Mental Health Awareness Week, the charity I have chosen to support is the Scottish Association for Mental Health.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Events like these are a great way to raise awareness and help reduce the stigma attached to mental health. However, simply talking about an issue isn’t enough. Funding is needed to make a change! You can see my fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help smash this goal!

Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

Saturday the 19^th of May:

The plan is to start at 10am and finish no later than 6pm. The route will take around 10 kilometres, starting at the National Gallery of Modern Art and finishing in Holyrood at Dymanic Earth. We'll be stopping briefly at each museum to take a photo, proving we've been there, before heading on to the next one. And if we have time, we may also briefly pop in to a couple of the museums. It will be a whole day of non-stop walking - and talking – museums!
