Please consider sponsoring Rachael Maclean on Seil to help the children of Yemen who are suffering life in diabolic conditions.

Seil buggy run is a group of mums (dad’s grandparents, friends etc welcome…) running (walking/skipping/hobbling) at their own pace from Ellenabeich to the other side of the Clachan bridge with or without a little person in a buggy.

Since Rachel cannot bring all the innocent children home to live here where it is safe with us, lets see if we can make just the tiniest difference by raising as much cash as possible for this worthy cause…Times are hard for many, but please donate as much as you can, even 50pence.

Meeting point: Seil Hall

Date & time : Sun 9 August meet at 09.45 for 10am start

Destination: The mainland over the Atlantic via Clachan bridge

There will be CAKES for participantsHere is the link for donations:https://uk.gofundme.com/f/coast-to-coast-and-across-the-atlantic-buggy-run
