On the 22nd May 2017, the world became a darker place when 22 souls were taken from us in the most horrific way. One of those killed was 14 year old Eilidh MacLeod from Barra in the Outer Hebrides.

Eilidh's family are friends of our family, Eilidh and her sister Shona used to play with my kids, Meghan and Dylan when they were just wee toddlers. Eilidh's death has come as a huge shock to us all and out of this shock and loss we would like to bring love and giving.

So, on the 1st October 2017, my daughter Meghan and I are taking part in the Great Scottish Run Half Marathon. I'm doing this to raise as much money as I possibly can in Eilidh's memory for her favoured charity Cobhair Bharraigh.

So we ask if you could please share this page and donate as much as you feel it would be greatly appreciated.
