Inspired by the guy who recently ran every street in Glasgow, and in memory of my dearest friend Alexander, I've decided to run every street in Peterhead and Boddam as a tribute to his career as a postie.
As you know, Akie passed away suddenly in April 2020 leaving Lisa, Abby, family and friends devastated. He was genuinely one of life's good guys- funny, genuine and a fantastic friend to many.
As his death and funeral happened during lockdown, it added to the helplessness of the situation.
As Akie had been a postie for 18 years, I thought a fitting tribute to him would be to run every street in Peterhead and Boddam. I'll be fitting this in round working full time and family commitments so I'm not sure how long this will take, so I've enlisted the support of my sister to keep me company on the way.
In speaking with Lisa, all money raised will be split between 2 local charities (NE Food bank and New Arc Animal Charity).
I'll be starting the challenge on the 1st March and will be posting regular updates so you can follow our progress.
Times have been tough for a lot of folk recently, so no pressure to donate but if you can spare a few quid so we can raise as much as possible for these 2 charities.
Thanks for reading
