Story
Since Daney & Sam are both turning 60 this year, we thought it would be a good idea to get them out and about, while they still can. We have set them 60 challenges to complete between Daney's 60th Birthday in April 2018 and Sam's 61st Birthday in June 2019.
They have decided to raise money for local West Lothian Charity; Friends of Chernobyl's Children.
This charity relies solely on the support from local volunteers to sponsor and host children from Chernobyl, Belarus and surrounding areas. The children, aged 7 - 12 years, live with a local family for one month a year for 5-years. Whilst in Scotland they are given “a month of love and care”; clean healthy air, healthy food (and lot’s of it!); dental, optical and medical help when needed; schooling and, lots and lots of fun activities!
The children arrive with only the clothes they are wearing and go home with a full suitcase of clothes, toys, vitamins, medicines and many of the daily essentials that we take for granted. More details on the work of this worthy West Lothian charity can be found on their web site; https://www.foccwestlothian.com/
Have a look at all of Daney and Sam's 60 challenges. If you would like to join in with any or think you may be able to help out with some challenges, please get in touch! https://daneysam60.wordpress.com/

Daney & Sam
5 years agoHello everyone, just a little message to say thank you and to give an update as to how things are going. First of all, due to factors which a lot of you will know of, the guys have been given an extended deadline until Daney's Birthday in April 2020 (yes this will make him 62!) to complete their challenges. However, there is no point in the money raised so far sitting in cyberspace when it could be put to good use within FOCC. Therefor, we have passed the amount over but the JustGiving page will still be available until April next year.
