I‘m running a half marathon on Sunday 30th September in Glasgow. I‘d like to use that as an opportunity to raise funds for a very good cause and to support two lads who have been doing some tremendous work of late in Perth, Dundee, Glasgow and Oban.

Alex McClintock and Adam Allison have brought Andys Man Club to Scotland and have set about helping blokes with mental health issues by spreading the news that it‘s OK to talk. Simple but effective support for people within our communities who need a helping hand at a challenging time in their lives.

I’ve been hugely impressed by what I’ve heard, read and seen and am asking family to offer their support to the tune of no more that ten pounds and friends to do likewise by way of no more than a couple of pounds.

If my thirteen mile run can raise a couple of hundred pounds (target above revised due to your generosity)for what is a tremendously good cause it will make it all worthwhile.

Huge thanks, regards, Scott
