Hi my name is Jemma Docherty, I am that crazy person who has had this great idea of running a total amount of 715 miles over the next 6 months. Thats an average of 119 miles a month which is totally doable right? It is but its tough and I would love for you to come join me and help me achieve this target.

For those that dont know me, I am passionate about all things eventing, I love taking part on my own horse, helping as part of the Kick On events organising team for Forgandenny Horse Trials and grooming for friends at some of the bigger events. Thanks to Covid and another lockdown I have found a new hobby in running, so as Covid continues to disrupt our lives I thought I could put my new running to some good use and raise money for a charity. SCAA is a service that none of us hope to rely on but unfortunately due to the nature of our sport and locations that it takes us we have had to call upon them when emergencies happen. Due to a lack of events and fundraising opportunities we need to do all we can to continue to support these charities who need our help more than ever now.

I wanted to combine running with my love for eventing so along with a friends help we came up with the idea of virtually running to each Scottish event starting In April from the SCAA base in Perth kicking off with Forgandenny. Right through to Wee Burgie at the end of the season in Sept.

I would love for others to join in, walk, cycle, run or even ride some of the distances. You choose your own distance, choose your favourite event or choose the whole 715 miles!!

If you raise a minimum of £150 SCAA will provide you with a T-shirt as a token of appreciation, and its free to sign up by clicking on the 'Start Fundraising' button on this page.
