Abbie walked the Glasgow Kiltwalk in 2023!
“I actually signed up to the Kiltwalk with my friend in February after my dad passing away in January due to alcohol use. I found the Kiltwalk to be a good focus and spent a lot of time training individually as well as planning walks with my friend in preparation.
“On the day I made sure to be prepared with snacks, lots of heat pads and Compeed plasters haha! (They were definitely needed). The full day had great energy and was very lively. There were snacks, performances and a lot of brilliant volunteers hyping us up along the way. Me and my friend had created a playlist on Spotify to keep us motivated and we spent a lot of time dancing!
“The Kiltwalk is definitely great to do in groups or pairs, we were able to motivate each other throughout the whole experience and keep each other upbeat. Even though I definitely felt it after we finally crossed the finish line, it was all worth it to raise money for such a great charity and I will be signing up to do it all again next year!”
