Story

Scotty's May Marathon has been running since 2017 and is a brilliant way for anyone and everyone to get involved and raise funds for bereaved military children and young people.

It really is your rules! Can you complete it all in one day or space it out over the month? Running, walking, jogging or hopping? It can create some real family time or some healthy competition amongst work colleagues?

Even Nikki Scott, Scotty's Founder, has taken part and this is what she says about it:

“I love the May Marathon. The support we receive every year is incredible, and it always makes me so happy to see people get outside and take on the challenge for bereaved military children. I’ve taken part myself, so I know how difficult it can be. I’m not exactly a fitness fanatic, but I got a real buzz from the experience, and knowing all the effort I put in was helping bereaved children and young people is a feeling that can’t be matched. The effort it took me to complete the distance is nothing compared to what our members go through, and the money raised from the May Marathon always goes a long way in helping us continue to deliver support for our Members!”

Go on! Challenge yourself and know that you are helping our bereaved military children and young people!
