Brian’s story
What could be more challenging than an ultramarathon?
How about one where the distraction of beautiful scenery is replaced by the physical and mental endurance of trying to run the same, repetitive, undulating, mixed terrain, 5km loop for six hours…continuously…at night…in the dark…in Scotland…in November???
Why? Because, hugely challenging as this will be, it is little compared with the daily challenges that many young people have to navigate indefinitely when they unexpectedly find themselves as young carers for other family members.
Hopscotch Children’s’ Charity offers respite breaks for young carers and children living in challenging circumstances across Scotland - providing something they wouldn’t normally get to do - a chance to get away from it all, to have new experiences, to make friends, to realise they are not alone, to create memories and enjoy something of childhood or teenage years when circumstances have forced them to grow up all too quickly.
Hopscotch celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and every penny I raise will help them to continue their vital work.
I know things can be challenging financially, but I would be hugely grateful for any support you can give.
Thank you.
