 A huge thank you to the 542 people who put their hearts behind our heroes on Saturday 16th May to take part in the Poppyscotland Hearts & Heroes Challenge.
Teams from the armed services, rugby clubs, corporates and charity supporters descended on the Southern Upland Way to participate in the 29-mile challenge, which began at the southern end of the picturesque St Mary’s Loch, worked its way along the stunning Southern Upland Way, and finished in the beautiful town of Melrose.
The challenge was held in aid of sporting charities, The Sportsman’s Charity and Hearts & Balls, along with veterans’ charity, Poppyscotland. All funds raised will go to help injured sportsmen and women as well as veterans and their dependants living in Scotland.
As well as raising much-needed sponsorship money teams could also compete for awards such as ‘fastest team’ and celebrated their achievements at a party at Greenyards rugby ground.
