Despite being the least sporty person I know, I've recently taken up running and decided to set myself a real challenge: the Edinburgh Half Marathon 2026. I'm also endeavouring to raise money to support the work of The Salvation Army in Kirkwall in Orkney. If you're able to sponsor me, I (and they) would hugely appreciate it! Thank you!

The Salvation Army is a Christian church & registered charity working in over 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
