Some of the 2025 numbers to make you feel good regardless of your finishing time. Massive thanks to everyone who entered the race, bought some merch, put some money in the box, brought foodbank or trainer donations or gave up their free time to make the race happen. These donations are only possible thanks to all of you:
Borders Children's Charity - £1459.50 (direct runner donations topped up by £1000 of race proceeds). An amazing local charity addressing child poverty and they're all volunteers.
Scottish Trans - £1000 to our long term charity partners, and you can believe they're under intense pressure these days.
Border Search and Rescue Unit - £600, these are the amazing folks who'd get the call to come and retrieve you if things really went to the wall.
Sunderland Mind Page - £500 in memory of David
Physical donations of food and trainers once again piled high for Jedburgh Churches Foodbank and Shoe Share Malawi
Additionally, we were able to send £250 to the Edinburgh Trans Community Health fundraiser - this will cover five blood tests, as essential, routine blood tests are no longer automatically available to monitor folks' health alongside hormone treatments (which they might now also have to access through non standard routes). If you'd like to understand more and even donate a blood test for Xmas, you can read more about this initiative and why it's needed on the go fund me link below:
