This November my Mum and I will be running the Supernova 5K over the Forth Road Bridge. A small feat for some, but it isnt so much the distance as for what it symbolises. I am running for Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs. A charity that helps families deal with the everyday struggle that comes with addiction. They do everything they can to reduce stigma for families and offer a safe and encouraging space for people to express their concerns for themselves and their loved ones. After having worked with them for over a year I see the amazing work that they do for families around Scotland.

Today would have been my Dads 66th birthday and next month will be 2 years since he passed. We want to run in his memory. I am thankful that now people can access support, something that has not always been accessible. Everyone deserves support and everyone has a right to feel supported. For families who have felt the struggle of addiction, lost loved ones to addiction and for those who have recovered, we are running for you too 💜
