Great Scottish Walk 2008

Thank You

Brain Tumour Action would like to thank everyone that took part in the 2008 walk and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2009.

The Walks

Anyone can enter either the 6 or 12 mile walk as an individual or part of a team - we want walkers of all ages. As long as you are reasonably fit, you should find the walk well within your capabilities. Dogs can enter the walk as well but must be kept under suitable control at all times (the same entry fee applies).

The Health Scotland Golden Mile, is aimed at people who would like to become more active, or feel they are unable to manage the full six or 12 mile walk. A medal and certificate will be presented to all participants who take part in this event at Edinburgh’s Meadowbank Stadium.

Teams can consist of a minimum of four and a maximum of six walkers per team (results are only recorded in the 12 mile event). Your company, office or shop etc, can enter as many teams as you like. All information will be sent to the address of the team organiser.

If you would like to walk for Brain Tumour Action in 2009, please contact administrator@braintumouraction.org.uk or alternatively telephone 0131.466.3116 and leave a message.

It's worth it to walk!

 Maria Munro  organised a 33 mile walk along the Nottingham to Grantham Canal. Nine walkers did the first 31 miles and for the last two they were joined by friends and family. A massive £3532.30 was raised - a brilliant total. It's worth it to walk!

Sponsored Walk

A 500 mile sponsored walk was organised by Avril Ferrier as a memorial walk for her late husband, Jim. The walk started around the Thurso area, with longer walks taking in the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way.  Avril's last section of walking raised over £1800 for our charity!

Charity Evening - Kirkcaldy, Scotland

Friends and family of the late Michael Rennie held a Charity Evening with the proceeds coing to BTA. The evening was very well attended and £1272 was presented to BTA. Lynne Barty, on behalf of the Committee, accepted the donation.

BTA have badges bearing the charity’s logo. They are available for a suggested minimum donation of £1.00. If you would like one or more for your family, friends or colleagues please send an email to administrator@braintumouraction.org.uk Alternatively, please telephone 0131.466.3116 to order a supply.
