On the 10th May I will be taking on the challenge of cycling through the breathtaking highlands doing the Etape Caledonia. Not the 45 or 55 mile version but the full steam ahead 85 mile effort. Excited to take this challenge on for such a great cause!

I had the privilege to go to Leuchie House over a year ago through my work at Ceannas to meet Mark Bevan, some of his staff and see first hand the incredible work they do for their guests. Since that day it has been amazing to get to know and work with them more.

My Dad (Davie Kinross) passed away just over a year ago now from IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis), a horrible incurable disease. He was my hero, someone that taught me the true value of always give your all and never ever give up. He showcased this up until his last day! During my Dad’s illness I went to Leuchie House and was able to look at some of the set up they had. I was then able to incorporate it into Dads living space to make him live more comfortably. For that I will always be grateful and this is why I am keen to support them even more.

If you follow me on Strava you will see my journey. My little legs don’t know what’s hit them, but I will not give up!

A little bit more about Leuchie:

With our specialist team, our enabling approach, our stunning location in the East Lothian countryside and our beautiful house, for short breaks with 24 hour care, Leuchie House really is one of a kind.
