Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Rather hastily, along with a work colleague, I have sign up for the Harray Half Marathon and the Dounby 10k on the 14th and 21st September respectively. With little prep time, I thought raising money towards a charity may help be a motivator to competing the challenge!

I have chosen to support two charities which are close to my heart.

Firstly, I have chosen the Archie foundation as both of my nieces, one very recently, spent the first few months of their lives being cared for in the Aberdeen Neonatal unit. The Archie foundation helps provide support for families in a number of ways including providing accommodation for families to stay in and funding specialist equipment.

Any money raised will help to support these valuable services provided by the foundation.

My second charity is Inclusive Orkney.

Inclusive Orkney provides support and a variety of opportunities for children with Additional Support needs and their families across Orkney. Monthly weekend clubs and holiday activities are some of the services they help provide as well as raising awareness of additional support needs within the community.
