Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Having watched and been inspired by my mum's several years' experience of taking on the Kiltwalk challenge to raise money for charity, I have decided to join her in 2026, supporting Scottish Mountain Rescue!

I am consistently blown away by the dedication of SMR's wonderful people. One of Scotland's greatest features is its mountains and munros, and with 26 Mountain Rescue Teams run by 850 volunteers, this charity works incredibly hard to keep people safe in the unfortunate circumstances that they need to be rescued or found while out on expeditions. The amount of pain I'll be in after walking 20 miles is probably a breeze compared to what these brave souls put up with on their missions!

I hope you will consider donating (or even sharing my fundraiser) to keep a local organisation thriving, and ensure that people can keep enjoying the Scottish outdoors with the knowledge that a service is running to keep them safe. 100% of your donation goes straight to the charity - currently 3 of every 5 rescues are funded by contributions from folks like you.

Thanks for reading - wish me and my mum luck for the 16th of August!
