Great Scottish Walk 2006
GREAT SCOTTISH WALK –
GREAT ANCHO TEAMS!
20 June 2006 -- Building on the last two
year’s charity fund-raising successes, seven intrepid ANCHO staff and
two determined ANCHO Management Board Members (including Jackie Browne,
Management Board Chair) recently completed the 12 mile Great Scottish
Walk in Edinburgh to raise funds
for the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK.
The team (along with around 7000 walkers
in total) - Jackie Browne (Chair), Helen Malcolmson (Board Member),
Elaine Gibson (Director), Jim Munro (Housing Services Manager), Liz
Docherty (Finance and Corporate Services Manager), Keith Henderson (ICT
Officer, Lorna Scott (Housing Services Officer, Marie Lawrie
(Administration Assistant), and former colleague Ian Grant - walked
around Arthur’s Seat, past the Scottish Parliament and Edinburgh Castle,
out Leith Walk to Leith seafront and then back to cross the finishing
line at Meadowbank Stadium on Sunday 18 June 2006.
The team aim to raise over £1000 for the
chosen charities. Jackie Browne said today, ‘It was very tiring, and
we all felt like giving up at times. We left Holyrood Park at about
11.00am, and the first members of our team crossed the finishing line at
about 2.25pm. All involved finished much quicker than last year – so we
must be getting fitter. We are also very pleased with the amount we
have raised so far, with the help of individual sponsorship, and from
some of our contractors and consultants, including EIM, J S Harvey, A C
Whyte, AES, J R Queenan and Gray Aitken Partnership, and we thank them
for their support’.
