As many of you know I abseiled off the Forth Rail Bridge last year to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's Scotland. An illness that is extremely close to my heart and something that there is currently no cure for. This year I wanted to set myself another challenge, this time raising money for Vocal, a charity organisation who support the carers and families involved with loved ones who suffer from this awful illness. My amazing mum is one of these carers that has received support from Vocal. For all my mum does for my grandad I wanted to be able to give something back and one way in which I can do this is to raise awareness of this charity and everything they do. So I signed up to do the Vocal Sky Dive on 5th October (who knows how I will cope considering the tears that came from the abseil!) however I didn't want to do just 1 challenge, as I have a £600 target I have decided to do 6 individual challenges, one a month in the lead up to the sky dive. The 6 challenges all to raise money for Vocal. Challenge dates and activities as follows:

Sunday 28th April - Dalkeith Country Park - 10km
Sunday 12th May - Ben Ime - 3317ft
Saturday 15th June - Ben Vorlich Monroe - 3094ft
Saturday 20th July - Ben Lomond Monroe - 3195ft
Sunday 29th September - Ben Macdui - 4295ft Saturday 5th October - Skydive

Thank you to those that are getting involved to keep me company at each challenge so I am not doing it by myself - I appreciate the support!

Thank you for reading my story, and a thank you for those who have/may donate, this truly means the world to me and I can't thank you enough.

I will keep you all updated on my journey - look out for my yellow vocal fundraising top!
