As part of our ongoing drive to raise money and awareness for Scottish Huntington’s Association (SHA) our very own CEO John Moffat is taking on two tough challenges.
In his first challenge, John has committed himself to walking more than 15,000 steps a day for 100 consecutive days over the coming months to raise money for this incredible cause.
If that wasn’t enough, he is then taking on the bigger challenge of walking the Speyside Way. Covering more than 100km and taking up to a week to complete, this difficult route will see John brave tough terrain and inclement weather in aid of SHA.
SHA helps people affected by Huntington’s disease who require specialist services to cope with severe and complex symptoms.
This fantastic charity also helps raise awareness of this condition and supports the families of those affected by it.
Scottish Huntington’s Association aim to reach every Huntington’s family through their Huntington’s Disease Specialists, Financial Wellbeing Officers and Specialist Youth Advisors.
Speaking about the challenges, John said: “Whilst the walks I am undertaking are tough, they are nothing compared to the difficulties that people with Huntington’s disease face daily.
“I am looking forward to taking part in these challenges and doing my bit, alongside the rest of the firm, to raise money for this cause.”
John is inviting people to join him on his 15K step challenge on certain days in Strathclyde Park. He will mainly be walking Monday and Tuesday after work and Wednesday to Friday before work. If you would like to join him, click here.
