So...

I am running the EDINBURGH MARATHON to raise money for HARRIS TRUST on the 25th MAY 2025 - THREE WEEKS TIME.

I would massively appreciate any possible donation you can make to this incredible charity. Harris trust was set up by Harris's parents in memory of him.

I think everyone that knew Harris remembers him as a charismatic and intelligent young man who loved sport, music and the outdoors. Underneath his friendly face Harris was autistic, struggled mentally and found social interactions challenging. Devastatingly the outcome for him was to end his life in 2020. Thus the Harris trust launched. The charity now works with children and teenagers in 14 schools. Out with this there are sessions in music, rugby, forestry and soon agriculture. Providing inclusive support and activities for those that face challenges as Harris did.

I have kept my entry to the marathon quiet and I almost withdrew last week. I am thankful to be a member at Spark HP gym in Tweedbank. They have massively improved my strength and fitness. However my actual marathon training has been sparse due to ongoing trouble with shin splints. There is no pain as harrowing or heart breaking than to lose a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a freind. I am determined and motivated to complete this challenge I have set myself.

I wish I could bring Harris back but that is impossible. We can however make a difference by supporting Harris trust. Potentially changing the outcome for someone in uncertain times. From the bottom of my heart I am asking you to PLEASE donate anything you can by following the link below.

THANK YOU!!!!
