It was a Great Scottish Walk
A big thank you to all those
who participated in the Great Scottish Walk for us. It was a great day out as we think the photographs highlight and we
even had celebrity help from Claire Knight and Jenny Ryan of River City.
Lorraine King, one of our Great Scottish Walkers said: 'Julie and I were delighted to complete the 12 mile walk on 10th June wearing your T-shirts, which I'm sure caught many people's eye. I hope the enclosed cheque goes a little way to helping your fantastic charity.'
This was our first year at the event so we hope our great walkers will inspire you to enter next year. All your support is greatly appreciated.
Claire Knight and Jenny Ryan of River City proudly show off their Royal Blind wrist bands whilst taking part in The Great Scottish Walk.
