Story

*** Thank you for the donations on the separate Kiltwalk Justgiving page (which is now closed!) - we raised a total of £2,167!! That means we've now successfully raised almost £5000 in total! ***

Folks! Listen up! This is important to me.

In December 2019 my mum, Sue Scott, very suddenly lost her life to an undiagnosed heart problem. To say the grief was crippling, to so suddenly lose a parent like that, would be an understatement. 6 months later my older brother, Sam Scott, also suddenly passed away from an undiagnosed heart problem. To lose so much family at such a difficult time has been life altering.

It was too easy to let the grief take over and I struggled to express the emotions locked away in my head. So I wanted to do something in their memory, something which honours them and what they were about. So I'm setting up this page as a companion to what I'm doing and what you'll be seeing on social media from me.

This next year I'm not going to stop.

Each and every month for the next year I'm going to be doing some kind of fitness-related challenge.

February: I walked over 420,000 steps!

March: I ran a 5k every day, finishing with a 10k!

April: I gathered a team of friends to do a virtual Kilt Walk, walking from dawn until dusk!

May: I hiked the West Highland Way in 5 days wildcamping and carrying all of my gear.

June: I climbed Bennachie 40 times in 30 days!

So please give generously to the wonderful British Heart Foundation, who have done so much and will continue to do so for those suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
