I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this — I never thought I’d sign up for anything like this! What started as a simple decision to do a 5k one morning has somehow turned into me getting caught up in the hype and committing to a half marathon.

I’m raising money for Strathcarron Hospice, an incredible charity that provides vital care and support to people and families when they need it most.

I’m taking on this challenge alongside a great group of people, who I know will push me on, keep me motivated, and help me get through every mile. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone feels even more worthwhile knowing it’s all for such an important cause.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will help Strathcarron Hospice continue the amazing work they do in our community. Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity — it truly means the world to me. Emma Douglas
