West Highland Way for Charity!

Following the death of my brother Ross in 2013 through suicide, lots was said surrounding mental health issues and what can be done to tackle them. Resultantly,  my mum and I are currently going through the process of registering our charity "Reach Across" with the primary aim of reaching out to people in need across local areas of Angus. This charity will add to mums success with her charity 'Artmoves' which provides opportunities for people with learning disabilities to act, sing and dance in front of an audience which helps build confidence for people who otherwise wouldn't get such opportunities. However, Reach Across needs a kick-start to get the ball rolling so here is my challenge for summer 2015..

 

For this challenge, John Yells and I will be taking to the West Highland Way. We aim to complete it in 36 hours on the 27th and 28th of July 2015. 96 miles will be broken down into half, so we will be running half of the route (45-50 miles) and biking the rest (or carrying the bikes over the multi-terrain). The main challenge will be running such a distance in a short time - after the marathon last year I was in agony!

I thank you for donating and to thank you, ten random donors will receive a charity t-shirt with the exclusive reach across logo printed on it delivered to your door! All proceeds are going straight to kick starting Reach Across and we hope to have our good cause notified soon!
