*** UPDATE****
Hi all, due to new work commitments I unfortunately have to delay my West highland way run till June, it will still go ahead but now will be in June 🙏🇺🇦
I’m running the West Highland Way on June 10th 2024, the intention is to complete this 96 mile (154.5km) route in 4 days, accompanying me will be my friend Nev Granby who will be riding his mountain bike. We are raising funds to donate to 3 causes that are close to my heart. Cowal Hospice Trust who helped me when I was being treated for cancer and they continue to help me post cancer, an amazing organisation who help many people suffering or recovering from this terrible condition. Secondly Erskine Veterans, this also is close to my heart they provide amazing care for veterans and support for their families when they need it most. Also raising funds for ’Charlie, Puggy, Stig and Grif Go East’ who continue to deliver much needed humanitarian aid to the suffering folk in Ukraine (Ukraine has 17million people in need of food/humanitarian aid) the humanitarian crisis continues and is indeed worsening daily.
