The Glasgow Kiltwalk

Today I set off from Glasgow to Loch Lomond participating in the annual Kiltwalk for Scotland's children. I walked for Cash for Kids - a charity who helps local children in Glasgow and the west who are not as priviliged as some. 1 in 5 kids live in poverty in the local area yet most don't even know it, there could be children five minutes down the road from you in this situation. The unique thing about Cash for Kids is that every penny stays local and really helps the children. 2014 is the first year that Cash for Kids is a beneficiary of The Kiltwalk, along with six other amazing children's charities. Along the way each charity provided walkers with food, water and lots of support as well as people along the way who stopped to cheer us all on - what an atmosphere to be involved in. I completed the walk in 4 hours and 15 minutes with little pain and no blisters (hurrah!) but now that I've settled down at home my legs are feeling stiff and my ankles and feet are killing me - but it was all worth it and for an amazing cause and a bonus was the sun shone on Glasgow and when it went away there was no rain at all so all our waterproofs stayed in our bags! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge for a brilliant cause!! Here are some memories:
