Transport team hit the road for charity
A team from Perth-based BEAR Scotland took part in the first ever Stirling Scottish Marathon on Sunday to raise funds for charity.
The group of six – Ryan Newman, Stuart Earl, Theo Spinoulas, Gerard Kelly, Lesley Pirie and Laura Donaldson – represent a range of departments, with five of them taking part in a marathon for the first time.
The team was raising funds for Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC) and yesterday its online fundraising page stood at £2031.68 – smashing a target of £1500.
ARC provides advice and support for parents, families and professionals during the antenatal screening process who have received the devastating news that their pregnancy is not progressing as expected, and there is a risk their baby has a serious fetal anomaly.
ARC was the nominated charity of choice after the organisation provided invaluable support towards one of BEAR Scotland’s staff and their family after they lost their daughter during pregnancy last year, and the charity still continues to offer support and help to them today.
The marathon route also took on some of the roads members are actually responsible for in the partnership with Transport Scotland, including a small section of the A9.
