Rutherglen Reformer

Chance to step out with free entry to Kiltwalk

-

A children’s charity is offering free entry to all Kiltwalk events in 2020 for Rutherglen and Cambuslang fundraiser­s who sign up this month.

Aberlour Child Care Trust works across Scotland providing lifeline support to vulnerable children, young people and their families.

Everyone who wishes to walk in aid of Aberlour and pledges to raise at least £100 in sponsor money can benefit from free entry.

However, this offer is only available until Friday, January 31.

The Kiltwalk is one of the UK’s fastest growing mass-participat­ion events with 25,000 walkers taking part in 2019.

The first Kiltwalk of the year will take place in Glasgow on April 26 followed by walks in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh.

Walkers can choose from a range of walking routes of between five and twenty-six miles.

Kiltwalk organisers promise “incredible scenery, complement­ary snacks and drinks along the way plus entertainm­ent and family activities to enjoy at the finish”.

It’s a great way to have fun, complete a challenge and raise money to ensure a bad start to life doesn’t mean a bad end for thousands of vulnerable children across the country.

And for every £1 raised, the Hunter Foundation will add 40 per cent extra for free.

Catherine Thomas, head of fundraisin­g at Aberlour, said: “Every day in Scotland 7500 children affected by poverty, domestic abuse, mental ill health and disability are being cared for by Aberlour.

“That is only made possible thanks to our funders, supporters and amazing people who fundraise for us by taking part in events like the Kiltwalk.

“Get your new year off to a smashing start by pledging to walk in aid of Aberlour at a Kiltwalk event.

“By doing so you will help us reach more vulnerable children to make sure a bad start to life doesn’t mean a bad end.”

To claim free entry to this year’s Kiltwalk events, call Aberlour on 0800 085 6150 or email fundraisin­g@aberlour.org.uk.
