Story

Darcy, Fleur and I are raising funds for Scotty's Little Soldiers, the charity dedicated to supporting bereaved military children and young people. We intend to cover the Marathon distance by simply walking to and from school everyday (1.2miles) during May and a longer dog walk at the weekends to ensure we cover 26.2 miles.

Scotty's are currently supporting over 650 bereaved military children around the UK, and I want to help them achieve their goal of supporting 1000+ annually by 2030.

Their parents served our country and regardless of their cause of death, we owe it to these service men and women to look out for their children. The impact on these young people is profound and without adequate support, challenges faced as a consequence of their parent's death can spiral out of control.

You can find out more about Scotty's and how they help by heading over to their website. https://www.scottyslittlesoldiers.co.uk
