One in four children in Scotland live in poverty. Your donation will help to support the most vulnerable young people in the country.

Many of you know David has been unwell the past couple of years and hasn't been on a bike for a long while, so stepping back on will be a challenge (for us both!)  We will cycle 26km to raise funds for a cause that is very close to my heart - the STV Children's Appeal.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on fundraising for charities across the UK. As events have been cancelled, so too has the income they would have generated meaning the most vulnerable in our society will struggle all the more.

For STV Childrens Appeal, events like The Kiltwalk are significant the money raised through these events mean we can disburse funds to hundreds of charities across Scotland who help children and their families fight poverty.

In response, the organisers of the biggest mass participation sports events across the country have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to help our fundraising and save the UKs charities: The 2.6 Challenge, will launch on Sunday 26 April 2020 what should have been the date of the Glasgow Kiltwalk and the 40th London Marathon, the worlds biggest one day annual fundraising event. The challenge will last for a week.

Thank you so much for any donations you can give.

Love from L&D x
