No rest for the wicked...

It’s race day again tomorrow 😳

A little less pressure this time, a lot more fun and hopefully a whole lot cooler than EMF! 🥵

This time it’s the Hop Run 10k, a beautiful trail run starting at Rosslyn Chapel and finishing at Stewart Brewing

I’d love to use this as a final push for fundraising. I’m currently sitting at £880 raised and would absolutely love to round it off to £1,000 🙏🏼

As many of you know, I’ve recently started a new role as Community & Corporate Fundraiser with U-evolve, a youth mental health charity supporting young people across Edinburgh.

U-evolve works alongside young people to help them feel better, build confidence and take control of their lives through counselling, mental health coaching, group programmes and wellbeing support. The impact they have on the lives of young people and their families is incredible.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps support the amazing work U-evolve is doing and makes a real difference to young people who need support.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated, It really does mean a lot.

If you’d like to help me get a little closer to that £1,000 target, the link is below ⬇️
