m thomson is raising money for St Andrew's Children's Society

EMF Half Marathon 2026 · 24 May 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

On 23rd & 24th May 2026 St Andrew's Children's Society employees, families & supporters will be taking part in the iconic Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2026 (EMF) to raise money to support our incredible families. Run with us or donate to the campaign!

Story

As a voluntary adoption and fostering agency, St Andrew's Children's Society relies on fundraising to pay for the support they provide to their families.

For those of you that haven’t heard of St Andrews Children's Society, they are a charity based in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, who find loving homes for children through fostering and adoption.

Most children who come to be fostered and adopted have had an incredibly difficult start in life and the impact of these experiences doesn’t end after they become adopted/fostered.

To help, Mel and Sophie will both be running the half marathon (21.082k) on the 24th of May 2026 to raise much needed funds. The money raised will go towards providing therapeutic support for some of Scotland's most vulnerable children. It’ll be a gruelling couple of hours, but knowing the difference your donations will make will push us forward.

No donation is too small. It all counts!

Wish us luck!

Mel & Sophie
