This year, Escone Solutions are again lacing up the boots, trainers and brogues for the Aberdeen Kiltwalk to give something back to local charities that are doing incredible work. Our chosen charity is A Bear Named Buttony, and it’s one that’s very close to our hearts.

A Bear Named Buttony provides specially designed Teddy Bears to children going through bowel or bladder surgery. Each bear has a small “button” to represent a stoma—something that might sound simple but makes a massive difference. These bears bring comfort, ease anxiety, and help children feel that what they’re going through is okay… and that they’re not alone.

It’s hard enough for anyone to face surgery, never mind a young child trying to understand it all. If a wee bear can take even a bit of that fear away, then that’s something worth getting behind.

So, I’ll be out pounding the track from Banchory to Aberdeen, 18 miles if I don’t get lost, in a kilt , doing my bit with the rest of Team Escone. If you’re able to support us with a donation, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world.

Thanks again for the support.
