In memory of Denis Meenan
We give young people the opportunity to enjoy a truly memorable respite break.

Story

I have decided to run the Edinburgh Marathon at the end of May this year in memory of our Dad, Denis Meenan who was taken at 43 and would have been 60 this year.

He really was the best Father a child could have wished for, our childhood was filled with love, laughter and fun but above all he was our hero and protector and would literally have moved mountains to see that no harm ever came to us.

I chose to donate to hopscotch because it is a charity that helps children who are less fortunate and do not have the best start in life and I also know that he would have loved to have helped these children.

Thank you in advance for any support given Xxx

HopScotch works with some of the most disadvantaged children in Scotland. Many have never been to the countryside or seaside before, and a holiday at Ardvullin is their only opportunity to have a break away from their problems in a safe and secure environment.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

About the charity

HopScotch provides free respite breaks for young people living in Scotland who have no other chance of a holiday. Our respite breaks take place at Ardvullin where children participate in a programme of educational and fun activities that help develop confidence, self-esteem, and social skills.
