Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We felt inspired by the Red Days seen at Lords. We are amazed by the work that the RSF do to support families during the hardest times. This resonated with us as we know many people affected. We hope that we can do our part to help this great foundation.

On Monday 14th June, over 30 boys from CE upwards have signed up to complete 1000 Runs in Red! In true Ruth Strauss Foundation style, we will all be dressing in red and completing the equivalent of 1000 runs of a 22yd wicket (21km) on a set route around Edinburgh. Participants will be able to walk, jog or run.

This will be continued on Friday 18 June when the 1XI play the MCC. Both teams will be wearing red caps following the red for ruth theme !

It would be amazing if you could donate whatever you can! - or alternatively, join us on our challenge of running 1000 runs!
