We're yet to take the first step, but Kiltwalk 2019 has already raised £1 million!

Around £830,000 has been raised by walkers, with a further 40 per cent - £332,000 - added courtesy of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation.

Glasgow woman Jacqueline Foy set out to convince 65 people to take part with her – but she smashed her target and will now lead a team of almost 100 next week.

Jacqueline, from Gartcosh, is fundraising for ENABLE Scotland’s RASCALS service, which runs an after-school club to young people aged four to 18, who have additional support needs.

Her son Patrick, who has autism and global developmental delay, attends RASCALS in Cumbernauld.

Jacqueline said: “RASCALS provides a lifeline to our family. I’m eternally grateful to ENABLE Scotland for everything they do and wanted to give something back in their 65th anniversary year.”

This year’s Royal Bank of Scotland Glasgow Kiltwalk, which takes place on Sunday, April 28, is on course to be the biggest ever, with 12,000 walkers taking part and more than 600 charities set to benefit.

Kiltwalk CEO Paul Cooney, said: “A huge debt of gratitude must go to our Kiltwalkers for their efforts raising such an incredible amount of money so far. This is a hugely impressive figure which will make a real and lasting difference to charities. A record-breaking number of walkers will be taking part in Glasgow on April 28, and there’s still time to sign up.”
