I have taken part in the Culloden run every year since it started, back in 2012.  It's a stone's-throw from my family home and a very scenic, if challenging route.

This year, though, is the first time I'll be doing it for charity rather than, er, 'fun'... The Chesney Trust runs a secondary girls' school in Engcongolweni, Northern Malawi.  As a trustee I know how important the work they do is, and also how desperately funds are needed - for equipment, construction work and teacher salaries and accommodation.  Any donations, large or small, will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way towards providing the best education we can.  It will also encourage me to keep going when I hit the hill at around the 13k mark!

Thanks in advance,
Duncan
