As some of you may know, our son Arlo was born with a rare
bleeding disorder (Severe Haemophilia) and receives regular life saving
treatment. Since he was born he has been going to Glasgow Children's Hospital
for his care. Never have we experienced such human kindness. On first name
terms with all his carers, he is treated like a little superstar. That is why I
am raising money for the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity – Schiehallion
Ward by running a 25km Trail Run as part of the Keswick Mountain Festival on
the 11^th of September 2021. And perhaps more terrifying than this, I
am also sharing a poem I have written.

Have you ever met a superhero?

I marvel at the humans so kind and modest

Who day after day turn up to work and are merely honest

Honest in their words, honest in their nature

The doctors and nurses in all their regalia

Day after day saving lives and making days better

For the children of Glasgow who are not in fine fettle

These superheroes, no matter what,

Turn up to the hospital and want nothing back

Nothing in return for their kindness and help

In making Glasgow's children find better health

Never have I known such a wonderful group,

Of humans who have strength, courage and that something else

I give my thanks to the caped crusaders for all that they do

As without them, I wouldn't have you

You, my son, are all I that I need

And I know with their help they'll stop the bleeds

So who needs the superheroes of the big screen?

When these peoples strength provide all that you need
