We’d like to say a massive thank you to one of our long term supporters, Glenwood High School! 🎉👏

Over 150 students and staff came together to take part in the Riverside parkrun what a fantastic turnout! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

A big shout out as well to their fantastic staff, who had two teams taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival relay, raising awareness and support for Teenage Cancer Trust and Love Oliver 💙

Thank you for helping us raise funds for young people, making sure they don’t face cancer alone ✨

We couldn’t do any of this without donations from the public, so your support is vital in making sure we can still be there for every young person who needs us. 💙
