♂️ 50 MILES. ONE BIG CHALLENGE. TWO GREAT LOCAL CAUSES. ❤️

Have you spotted what James Welsh is planning to do between Christmas and New Year?

On 30 December, James will lace up his running shoes and tackle an incredible 50 miles from Fort William to Oban – all to raise money for Oban Festuve Lights and Oban Hospice Ltd ’s Dove Centre.

And we’d love to see the community get behind him!

🎯 The target is £1,000 – with the money raised supporting both local causes.

Fifty miles is a LONG way, especially at the end of December, and every donation will give James another reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other when the miles start getting tough.

Could you spare £5 or £10 towards his challenge?

Small donations soon add up, and together we could make those 50 miles really count.

And if you can’t donate, a share is just as appreciated – let’s see how far we can spread James’ challenge!
