Fundraiser Spotlight: Alan Wyllie takes on the Dundee Kiltwalk 

Our supporter Alan Wyllie has signed up to take on the Mighty Stride Kiltwalk in August, walking the 21.5 miles from St Andrews to Dundee. He tells us a little bit about his inspiration:

“Niamh is about to enter Fourth Year at High School, and what a 15 years it has been. Born with a hole in her heart she has survived two open heart operations and a collapsed lung to become the lively and cheeky youngster she is nowadays. Smart, capable and very loving she’s been an absolute joy from the minute she arrived in the world. Down’s Syndrome Scotland has been a great support to us along the way, and though for each of us the kind of support required is different, the main thing for Niamh has been the Teenspace events and Zoom meetings. She has loved them from the start, particularly the Karaoke and has built a great community of friends which have enriched her life greatly.

I chose to fundraise for Down’s Syndrome Scotland so that others can continue to benefit from the great work that they do.”

A massive thank you to Alan who has already raised £545. You can support Alan’s fundraising via his JustGiving page here.

There is still time to sign up to take part in the Dundee and Edinburgh Kiltwalk – you can find out more and sign up here.
