Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have the honour to be the first ever fundraiser for the amazing charity Athletics Trust Scotland. ATS provide funding and opportunities to transform thousands of lives in Scotland through athletics. The projects highlighted on their page are honestly so inspiring by strengthening communities and even targeting medals. The Transforming Lives Grant programme is for organisations that support those in the sport who are in need, for reasons of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. It has been created to help groups seek a direct fund to support the costs such as a hardship fund, athletics equipment, start up kit for children & coaching fees.

The principal objectives of ATS:

Providing support to those in the sport who are in need, for reasons of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

Promoting and encouraging individuals towards accreditation for coaching and the role of competition officials.

Providing new opportunities for more people to participate in athletics and running activities.

To fund raise for this wonderful charity I am running the Edinburgh Marathon on the 26th May 2024 with the target of sub 4 hours. I have been training consistently for 12 weeks now and I am very excited!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
