Who would have thought at the start of 2020 life would have changed so much. Covid really has been a bitch!
The year started so promising with several plans in place for fundraising but all those were blown out the water so thank goodness for the Kiltwalk, it was my saving grace last year and helped me keep focus on something during these hellish times.
After the disappointment of thinking I would not be able to fundraise and keep James memory alive this year along came the Kiltwalk virtual walks and all was saved.
First came the Dundee Virtual walk, so on went the walking shoes and off we went, me and my friend Susan, walking from Grantown on Spey to Loch Morlich. This was an emotional one, James passed away in Grantown and after he passed away Loch Morlich became a special for our family. It was some walk, around 30 miles! But super proud to complete it in James memory and our fundraising was on again.
After that walk there was another opportunity to do a final virtual kilkwalk weekend so what to do, after al lot of talk, me and susan though it would be a good idea to walks from Glasgow to Edinburgh along the canals over 2 days, its only about 65 miles after all, it was brutal but we did it!
We were so totally overwhelmed with not only the donations made to us but the generosity of the Tom Hunter Foundation through the kiltwalk was amazing. He matched pound for pound every penny we raised. So with all this money, here is what we managed to do……….
It was totally overwhelming and so super proud to be able to help so may people all in James name. His legacy will keep on giving.
So thank you everyone who donated and helped Baby James Legacy to keep James memory alive. A big huge thank you also has to go to Susan Duncan, one of the amazing Caley ladies who helped me achieve everything last year. Couldn’t have done it without her. Susan you are a superstar xx
