Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Me and David are going to walk the West Highland Way on Saturday.  It will take us form Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William 96 miles away in 5 days, fingers crossed and finally up Ben Nevis Britain's highest mountain.

When a child has a serious illness or is injured and requires special treatment, they often have to travel far from home to receive the medical care they need.

For the families and children facing such a stressful time it is a great relief to know that there is a place they can go where they can live together in a caring and welcoming environment – a place where families can gain the support of one another as they cope with the emotional crisis that accompanies the illness or injury of a child.

Ronald McDonald House at Yorkhill, Glasgow, opened in March 1996 and provides free accommodation for the families of long term and critically ill patients at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children.  The hospital treats children from all over Scotland, the north of England and Northern Ireland and family stays in the House range from a few nights to over a year.

This charity has a special place in my heart and whatever you can donate will go towards helping families when they need it most.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks Nick and David
