Story

I ran the Loch Ness Marathon for Light Into Europe on Sunday the 29th of September. My time was 5:03:43

Such an amazing experience and great to raise money for such a worthy cause,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This summer I am running the Loch Ness Marathon for Light into Europe, starting off with some warm up runs including the Glenlivet 10K on the 14th of April, followed by the Ben Romach 10K on 11th of May, Baker Hughes 10K on the 19th of May, Forres Highliand Games 10K on 6th of July and finishing up with the Loch Ness Marathon on the 29th of September.

During my stay in Romania last year I did some voluntary work for Light into Europe, I met some amazing people, Stan and Camelia truely are an inspiration dedicating their lives to helping sensory impared children in Romania who without their help would have little or no quality of life and prospects.

Please help me to continue to support them with their projects and I will keep you up to date on my progress.
