Heather Ford is raising money for St Cuthbert's Care - The Alan Shearer Foundation

Race Across Scotland · 9 August 2025

A small monthly gift could mean a sensory session for a child, a moment of joy for a family, or simply keeping the lights on. It all adds up — and every bit of support helps us keep the Alan Shearer Centre free, open, and life-changing.

Story

On the 9th August I'm putting myself on the start line to run/walk/crawl the Race Across Scotland, a 220-mile ultramarathon spanning coast to coast climbing 7218 metres in the process.

As well as being a huge personal challenge I want to raise some money for the Alan Shearer Foundation.

The Alan Shearer Foundation exists to fund one of the UK’s most unique places: a specialist Centre offering FREE sensory experiences and support for people with complex disabilities. It was created with a donation from Alan’s testimonial — and nearly 20 years on, he’s still leading the charge to keep it going.

If you can, please, please support me on this journey by donating and sharing this page.

Help Keep the Centre Open — and Free!

Thank you for taking the time to read!
