Here are just some of the supporters who shared their stories with us.
Ruaridh showed signs of group B Strep infection after he was born. He stayed in hospital for 5 days of treatment. When his mum Chloe saw the 62 miles in March challenge on Facebook,Ruaridh said he wanted to do it ‘to save other babies’ lives’ - so thoughtful, especially at 6 years of age. Ruaridh’s first walk was climbing up Stac Pollaidh. His longest walk was 10 miles, with no complaints. Ruaridh raised over £2,300. 4
Rachel was excited to find the 62 miles in March Facebook challenge – Paisley was turning 2 in April 2021 and with COVID restrictions in place, she couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate her birthday than to take part in this Facebook fundraiser. Rachel told us “I’m pleased I have managed to get my family and friends talking and raising vital funds. Paisley and I look forward fundraising again in the future.”
