As a GP I have witnessed first hand the awful consequences that poverty, neglect and abuse can have on a child's life not only in their early years but also throughout adulthood. 

 1 in 4 children in Scotland are currently living in poverty which is approximately 220,000 children which is a scary figure. I am raising money for Children 1st which is a charity that aims to achieve a happy, healthy, secure and safe childhood for every child and young person in Scotland. 

As my friends and family know I am frequently out and about plodding the streets in and around Perth. I thought I would utilise this to help raise money for this excellent cause by running/jogging/walking 220,000 steps for the 220,000 children living in poverty, over 5 days both solo and pushing my wee partners in crime in their double buggy. 

If you would like to support me in this I would be very grateful!
