CHARITY EVENTS Charityevents Get a sense of personal achievement whilst raising money for a worthy cause
The Caledonian Challenge The Caledonian Challenge (14-15 June) involves teams of 4 or more walking 54 miles in 24 hours, through some of Scotland’s most beautiful countryside, to raise money for Foundation Scotland. Since its inception in 1996, over 16,000 participants have raised nearly £13m for the Foundation which uses its grant making expertise to distribute the funds to improve the lives of individuals and community groups throughout Scotland. The Caledonian Hike (14 June), a less gruelling trek, involves teams of two or more walking 24 miles in 12 hours; with less training and fundraising required, the Hike is a fantastic alternative to the Challenge, and the rewards are just as plentiful!
