During the month of July I am completing an exhausting accumulator running challenge to raise funds for the charities Held In Our Hearts and Neil’s Hugs Foundation. Each day I will run the mileage that corresponds with the date, i.e. a mile on the first, 2 miles on the 2nd and so on, completing a monthly total of 496 miles!

Held In Our Hearts are a local charity providing baby loss counselling and support to families. Formerly known as SANDS Lothians, they have 40 years’ experience of offering compassionate bereavement care in the community.

Neil's Hugs Foundation was founded by Donna Paterson-Harvie who lost her only son, Neil to suicide in September 2011. The aim of the charity is to help raise awareness of suicide in the local community and support families who have been affected by suicide.

Please give what you can as your donation will make a huge difference to these wonderful charities.

Thank You

Paul
