Let's recreate the iconic scene from Chariots of Fire and run (or walk!) together along Portobello Beach on the 2nd of December to raise vital funds for our charity! This event is kindly hosted by EMMS International, our unique partner, with whom we were initially introduced in relation to The Eric Liddell 100, as there is a family link between Eric Liddell and EMMS International. Following discussions about their involvement in The Eric Liddell 100, they learned more about our charity and the services we provide to people living with dementia and they have kindly decided to support our charitable work. So, if you want to support a good cause, we cannot wait to see you in Portobello in a month! https://lnkd.in/e47yerx3
