Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are Calmac staff based in Wemyss Bay who will be running, walking and cycling 50 miles each in July to raise funds for Calum's Cabin, a charity that is very special to us and the Isle of Bute. In the team we have:
Coleen, Holly, Fiona, Taylor, Paul, Rebecca, Kerry, Rachel, Ross, Jonathan and Daniella. Between us we will cover a total of 550 miles if not more in the month of July.
In 2007 12 year old Rothesay boy, Calum Speirs, lost his fight for life little more than a year after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Brave Calum, fought with great determination, dealing with his illness with great humour. Calum was an inspiration to all who knew and met him.
Calum's Cabins are holiday homes on the Isle of Bute for children suffering from cancer or a cancer related disease, where the entire family can come together, spent quality family time together, make special irreplaceable memories and recharge their batteries for what may lie ahead. Calum's Cabin also have flats in Glasgow for families to use when their child is enduring longer term treatment at Glasgow’s children hospital and home is a very long way away, allowing families to have a real “home from home”. All this is only possible thanks to everyone’s continued support in any way at all whether it be large or small.
