‘It won’t be easy’ - Sue prepares for mammoth fundraiser

Sue Isherwood is set to take on the challenge next week

Donation envelopes will be delivered to every house which can then be returned to a dropoff point for collection.

Coffee mornings will take place at St Andrews Leckie Church Hall from 10am-12pm on May 16, 17 and 18.

A plant sale is planned for Saturday, May 18 in the church grounds. In addition there is a seven-mile sponsored walk aimed at families.

Head of Christian Aid Scotland Val Brown said: “Sue’s triathlon challenge for Christian Aid is truly inspiring – we wish her all the very best (and a well-deserved rest afterwards!).

It’s wonderful to see so much happening in Peebles this May for Christian Aid Week, it’s a week when global social justice really is at the heart of local communities.

“Burundi is the focus of this year’s appeal, a country where 70 per cent of the population live in poverty and more than half of children are chronically malnourished.

“Our work there, through local partners, is supporting people to gain business skills and access village savings schemes so they can earn vital income and become financially secure.”

Sue has raised more than £700 so far, smashing her £500 target.
