Story
I’ve had to use the crowdfunding option as i am raiding funds for two charities. I am taking part in my first ever triathlon at Gordonstoun (Sept 9th) 777m swim, 25k cycle, 5k run 😳 and the Kiltwalk (15miles) Edinburgh (Sept 16th). As funds need to be raised for both i would like to raise what i can and split it between the two. The STV Children’s Appeal raises funds to help children affected by poverty and is linked to the Kiltwalk And as an ex service woman (WRAF) i am supporting the following At the National Arboretum there is a lack of a memorial to honour the WRAF (Womens Royal Air Force). The WRAF were established in 1918 and disbanded in 1920, then there was the WAAF (Womens Auxillary Airforce) between 1939 to 1949. From 1949 -1994 the WRAF were established again. The National Arboretum has memorials to honour the RAF, WAAF, PMRAFNS (Princess Mary’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service) but nothing to honour the WRAF. The fundraiding committee has done a lot of ground work to take this forward. We need to raise a lot of money so this is a tiny step in a very long journey.
All funds raised will be split equally in two for these two charities.
Thankyou in advance for your donation. 👍

6 years agoOh my just one week after completing the two stages of my challenge, a triathlon (1/2 mile swim, 15 mile cycle, 3 mile run) and Edinburgh kiltwalk (15.5 miles) I am just £55 off my online fundraising target. Can you help me reach this? That’s 11 people each giving £5, that coffee and a cake, give yours up today if you can and support two great causes. Thank you xx

6 years agoThe walk is done, my legs are gone and it was way more painful than the triathlon but worth it for every penny raised. The target is very close so any last push donations gratefully received and Thankyou to those who donated before and today bringing my target even closer.
