I have a bit of an ambitious goal to run 1000km this year, which only really works if I run nearly 100km every month. I'm turning the first month into a fundraiser partly to keep me on track!

To make this fundraising effort go further, my business will be matching all donations up to the target amount, meaning together we'll be raising double what you give.

Origin is an organisation close to my heart. If you've seen any of my photos with a view from the glockenspiel, Origin is the context in which those photos are taken. At the end of last year, one of the largest contributors decided to redirect their giving to other causes, so Origin needs to raise an additional £400 a month to fill the gap - hence the target of this fundraiser.

But with the matched donations, if we manage to raise £400 in donations, Origin will get twice that amount, which buys them time for an extra month as they seek additional long-terms partners to fund their work.

Origin is a christian organisation using music to build community, share hope, and foster unity. The concerts are just one part of what they do! If you'd like to find out more, you can do so here: https://www.originministry.org/

If you'd like to find out more about partnering with Origin and giving regularly to the work they do, Colin and Norma would love to hear from you. You can reach out to them at info@originscotland.org.
