On Sunday 27th April, I’m taking on the Glasgow Kiltwalk 23 mile Mighty Stride to raise funds for Airdrie Community Club, where I coach the 2015s and 2018s teams.

We are a small team of dedicated volunteer coaches working tirelessly to secure over £1.5 million for the Katherine Park project—a game-changing development where we’ll build our own ACC facility of two all-weather football pitches. This isn’t just about football; it’s about creating a space where 400 young players can train, grow, and represent our club for years to come.

We are taking ownership of this land from the council and are now in the final stretch of raising funds to turn this dream into reality. Every donation—no matter how small—will bring us closer to giving these kids the pitches they deserve.

If you can spare the cost of a pint, a vape, or another little treat, you’ll be playing a vital part in building a legacy for our community.
