SUMMER SERIES - FINAL RESULTS!
Congratulations to John M and Alison on the wins and well done to everyone who took part! (If you think you’ve been missed from one of the races send us a DM.)

Good evening everyone! The message below is from a truly wonderful RTC Warrior who is running to raise money for a very important and worthy cause. Please consider supporting him and his charity, if you are able to do so. Many thanks everyone 🥰

From Gary McKenna

This September I’ll be running the Loch Ness Marathon to raise money for Alzheimer Scotland, in memory of Mary Gold, Grant Thomson and Ray Lynch who were affected by dementia and are sadly no longer with us. ❤️

This is a cause that means a great deal to me and to people close to me. I’m hoping that by taking on the 26.2 miles around Loch Ness, I can raise something in their memory while helping Alzheimer Scotland continue to support people living with dementia, their families and carers.

If anyone would like to sponsor me, I’d be incredibly grateful. Any amount, no matter how small, would be hugely appreciated — and sharing the post would help too.

Thank you for your support — in memory of those we’ve lost, and for everyone living with dementia and the families and friends who are affected by it. ❤️
