As many of you may already know my boyfriend (Ryan Murney),
family and friends are running the Glasgow Half Marathon on the 4th of October
to raise funds for Redburn School in Cumbernauld. My sister Stefanie and I have chosen to run
the 10k which takes part on the same day as the Half Marathon for the same
cause.

Stefanie and I are both excited to be taking part in this race for such a great cause.


Redburn is a great school which caters for children with
a wide range of abilities and complex needs. As a future primary teacher, I
understand the commitment, care and the true passion which goes in to the
development and learning of every child no matter their ability. Redburn
greatly shows this. Ryan's younger brother Sean Murney (photo above) has severe autism and
attends Redburn where they have, and continue to, support him greatly to develop
his understanding and learning. I can very easily say that Sean Murney is the
greatest, happiest, most loving, funny, and flat out the most amazing young
man. He makes me so happy, makes me laugh, keeps me on my toes and keeps me smiling because he is so
full of pure happiness and love. He is truly a star and deserves, as does
every child, the best that life and education can give. 



The school need extra funds to purchase a mini bus which
would allow the children to become more involved within the community and
develop their social skills. Myself and others would be very grateful for any donations
and thank you for your support. To conclude, whilst at an Award Ceremony in
Redburn School the Head teacher said an inspiring quote from Nelson Mandela
which reads 'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world'.




Thank you.
