Craig Walker is running his first ever marathon event. He's a regular runner and coach with the newly formed Islay Running Club. Recently Craig and his partner Lauren welcomed beautiful baby Harrier.

Having babies whilst living on the Inner Hebrides presents many challenges, mainly travelling to the mainland to give birth as there is no labour facilities on the Island.

Islay and Jura Bump to Birth Fund is a local charity that supports local expectant families financially while they await the birth of their babies. They do this by supporting mainland accommodation and activities on Islay such as aquanatal and improving facilities for antenatal information and classes (no...! the nappy goes on the other end).

Please give a few pounds for Craig's marathon effort on the 15th September and help Ileachs and Diurachs (folks from Islay and Jura) to have happy and healthy babies.
