On 26th May I will be running the 2024 Edinburgh Marathon for Eilidh’s Trust in order to raise as much money as possible to support their work with young musicians.

Eilidh’s Trust is a charity dedicated to the memory of Eilidh MacLeod from the Isle of Barra who was killed at the age of 14 in the Manchester Arena Terror Attack following an Ariana Grande Concert on 22nd May 2017.

Eilidh loved music and enjoyed her time playing, travelling and competing in the pipe bands. Eilidh’s Trust wants to continue this love of music by advancing the musical education of children and young people. It aims to offer budding musicians the chance to access high quality and affordable music making provisions within their local communities.

They are a fantastic charity and I would be so grateful if you could take the time to sponsor me to help the cause and to motivate me in my training.

My training starts on 6th Feb. You can follow my progress as I spend the next few months plodding around Uist to try and get myself ready to run 26 miles!
