    Story

    Mum's last years were in Fordmill Nursing home where she was well looked after, joined in the arts and crafts and loved to sit outside when the sun was shining. Mum loved people, and people loved her. Money raised is for the arts and crafts and entertainment for residents at the home and for two benches, one for Fordmill, to be placed outside so residents can sit and enjoy the sunshine, and the other for Killearn where mum for 40 years was the post mistress at Dumgoyne Post Office and always served the community with a welcoming smile.

      It's been a while, but the bench for Fordmills eventually arrived there today. The plaque reads 'In Loving Memory of Jay Houghton 1934-2019.

      Seemed strange not to be getting ready for a big run today. We completed the WHW in 25hrs over the 6 days, so maybe the next challenge will be to complete it in 4 days or less. I don’t think I will ever get tired of this route and the spectacular scenery, it reaches the soul. Thank you once again for all the generous donations for the residents of Fordmill Nursing Home

    I am running the West Highland Way (96miles) 13-19 June. I have never done anything like that before so it will be a personal challenge as well as raising money in memory of my much loved mum.
