Edinburgh Kiltwalk 2026 · 13 September 2026 ·

Closes 05/10/2026

Based in Scotland, The Neurosciences Foundation funds vital research to advance treatments for brain tumours, stroke, dementia, MND, Parkinson's, MS, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions. Your support fuels early-stage medical innovations that save and transform lives.

Story

Great news! After the success of last year's Glasgow KiltWalk, we have an incredible 19 fundraisers from Deans Civil Engineering, Deans and Boyd Health and Safety, CHAPS GB and HLG Associates who have registered to take part in the KiltWalk which takes place in Edinburgh on the September 13th. They are walking in support of The Neurosciences Foundation.

Our target is to raise £15,000. This money will allow us to award a grant to an early career neurosciences researcher who can then undertake an early stage project into one of the many diseases which affect the brain and spinal cord e.g. motor neurone disease (MND),  dementia, and brain tumour.

We are already well on our way to meeting our target of £15,000 with the help of our Edinburgh KiltWalk participants raising fund individually , but we need your help!
