On 1st October, I will be running the Great Scottish Half Marathon to raise funds for Sense Scotland. This charity has supported my big brother Paul, and thousands of other families, for many years.

Sense Scotland provide support to individuals and their families who are impacted by deafblindness and other complex disabilities and the local Touchbase centre has provided Paul with opportunities to experience life in a way that makes sense to him, through music and other sensory activities.

I am hoping to raise some funds to help this vital service to continue to make a difference for people who experience life in a different way to most of us. If you can spare anything to help Sense Scotland, I would be forever grateful.
