Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

It will be 4 years on the 27th of September 2026, since our mum died suddenly of a heart attack. Only 2 years after our dad passed away.

Now that Scott and I have both caught the running bug, we decided it would be a lovely tribute to run the Loch Ness marathon together in memory of our amazing mum. And it so happens to be on the same day she died 4 years later. So it felt somewhat appropriate.

It will be Scott’s first marathon, and my 3rd… so we don’t expect it to be at all easy, but we can guarantee that we’ll give it our all!

So if you’d like to donate to this worthy cause, we would be extremely grateful.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
