Charity boss set for mammoth run

-

A determined mental health charity boss will RUN the 96-mile West Highland Way this summer to boost the group’s coffers.

Determined Dave McKenna, who founded Kickin’On to help those struggling with their mental health, will take on the mammoth challenge in June.

The rugged route, popular with walkers, runs between Milngavie and Fort William and Dave, 37, plans to run the full distance to help the charity continue its work.

The Johnstone man said he hatched the plan after getting back into running at the turn of the year when the group added trail hikes and cold water immersion into their classes.

Kickin’On run a number of weekly classes, including a women’s support group, all designed to use fitness and football to help people open up and talk about their problems.
