Zander's JOGLE 2025 on behalf of AberNecessitie's

Good Evening,

Thank you soo much to those that donated to my kilt walk challenge.

We have raised £125, enough to buy a Moses basket, mission accomplished 🫶 maybe some more donations to come 🤗🌈

We had a great day, Keebz bailed out at 12 miles, shame she was soaked through. She done amazing up until then. Emma was at Camphill volunteering and was finished when we got there, so it made sense 🫶🐾.

Ended up finishing in 5 1/2 hrs, the heavens literally opened 5 mins before I crossed the line 🌧️⛈️ No photos at the finish line, my phones just started taking a charge now, as it got soaked through.

Well done to everyone that took part, not just the walkers but all of the support team, of which there was loads. 💪🏻🌈🤗7️⃣🤗

My legs were feeling it at the end, soo many people pushed themselves out of their comfort zones today - I loved seeing that 💪🏻

Good Evening,

Here are my links for the Kiltwalk on Sunday 🤗

If anyone is in the position to get onboard with me for my next challenge7️⃣🐾 with my trusty sidekick Keebz 🤗❤️ and wants to help me raise money to buy one bed, maybe you could help me by donating the cost of just one drink ☕️ 🥃🍸🍷🍻🍺🍾🥂£5

Collectively we can hopefully raise enough for a child to be able to sleep in a real bed, not every little one has that luxury, here in Aberdeen - WTAF 🤮😩🤯

For the kiddos of Aberdeen 🚶🏻🍼🛌7️⃣🌍❤️💜

My link is directly donated to AberNecessities as previously.

Thank you for any support 🤩

Good Afternoon,

I know I said I’d not be back on the page until next year, I change my mind a lot of the time, oh well 🤪

I thought it would be a bit of a travesty if Aberdeens most famous walker, who hasn’t done any walking in Aberdeen, wasn’t taking part in The Kilt Walk on Sunday 🤗7️⃣🤝

I don’t think I’ll need any training, although my wee baby Kibou is going to do it with me, so no doubt I’ll be carrying her half the way, her favourite place is on her Dads shoulders 🤗7️⃣🌈🐾

I’ll be playing for my team AberNecessities, and donning my cup final shirt, Ive still got a couple of flares Im keen to use 🤪🔥💜

I will be looking for sponsors once I get my page updated by AberNecessities, even if I raise enough for one bed through this event, I’ll be a happy boy, mission accomplished.

Good Afternoon,

I’ve decided that in order to really give myself the best chance of making my dreams come true, and to truly live my life as I’d like to, we need to change our environment.

We 🐾7️⃣ are moving to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I was always prepared that if I came home and it didn’t feel right, that I’d be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, to just leave Aberdeen. It almost feels like im putting myself into witness protection, but it’s actually success protection.

I’m never going to be giving a fair chance, the amount of hatred aimed in my direction is completely unwarranted, and relentless. I don’t need to put up with it, Im best just removing myself from the firing line.

There’s a few places I went during this challenge that I could really picture myself living, so we are going to go and start a fresh, in one of these places.

I feel like I need to do this for myself, now is the right time - we only live once. I know I can be successful, I just don’t know if I can be here.

It’s sad Ive got to leave my home town, but sometimes you’ve got to do what you don’t want to do, to make things happen 🫶7️⃣🤗

Thanks for all your support, and you’ll hear from me in 2026. 🤗

I am still committed to raising 50k for AberNecessities, but I need to focus on me for the rest of this year.I won’t update this page until next year.

All the best for now 7️⃣🫶🐾

Good Evening 🤗7️⃣🫶

I’ve been home for 2 and half weeks now, thought I’d say hello, and let you guys know what I’m up to.

I’ve been soo relaxed and positive, I was supposed to have an interview today, but the interview didn’t happen, so that option has gone now.

I’m going to take the positives from that, it has made me feel good these last few weeks, to be recognised by someone I respect, but now I need to forget about it, and get back to building my future independently.

It’s made me realise, I don’t really want to put my life in anyone else’s hands but my own.

I need to turn back to Plan A, and today I’m commiting to it.

Plan A is the hardest, has lots of different elements, will take the Iongest, and will mean I’m going to have to struggle for the next few months, and live day to day, until I can build everything up.

I might lose my house in the process of doing this, but I’m accepting of that, this is what I’m going to do, in no particular order:

1. Dog Walker: Tuesday to Thursday, morning and afternoon field groups sessions. No more than 5 dogs per group.

2. 1-2-1 Football Coach. I’m not going to be the step over coach. I’m the coach that teaches the basics well, gives confidence and belief. 5 sessions a week.

3. Build Your Confidence Football Coach - Group Sessions twice weekly.

4. Create 2 x Addiction Support Groups - one for those living with Addiction, and another for families and friends of those living with Addicts in their lives.

5. Aurora Football Club

6. Write my book.

7. Special Projects - the race to 50k, next years challenge.

While I was away, I was really trying to work out what I wanted to do, what I think I’m good at, how can I put it all together.

I feel like a couple of these things, if I give it everything I have, and I get some luck along the way, could be very successful.

I’ve already started work on preparing to get back on the football pitch, Aurora Football Club will be providing free football, food and boots for up to 100 kids in the last week of the school Summer holidays.

I’m working on securing the funding right now. I’ve got some really special people helping me make this happen.

Not one kid is going to pay a penny. It’s all free.

Next years challenge, next years challenge will be 7 marathons in 7 days.

I won’t be doing it on my own, I’m currently working on building my team of 7 🤗

Im hoping that with 7 of us doing it, we might just reach 50k over the course of that challenge.

Hope you’re all doing good and have a lovely evening 🚶🏻🍼🌎7️⃣❤️💜💚
