So, it’s about time I took this aging body of mine out for
another charity challenge before I fall to pieces! To that end of I am
undertaking 2 half marathons. The first one is the Scottish Half marathon on
the 24^th of September in Edinburgh, followed a week later by the
Great Scottish Run Half marathon on the 1^st of October in Glasgow.

To make this a worthwhile venture, I am hoping to raise a
few coins for the Ayrshire Hospice. It’s a charity that is well known to my
family and the wider community, and something that we have always raised money
for. Whether that be with trade fairs or just collecting in the Coach house. I
didn’t want to raise money for a big charity, who do fantastic work. But I felt
with a local charity, and one as well known as the Ayrshire Hospice, it would
be easy to see how the money is spent and how this reflects in its cause.

 With that in mind I
wanted to set a realistic and achievable target of £200. Now if I go above that,
that would be brilliant, and also that would give me a greater motivation to
complete these challenges.
