A couple of the Sea Savers made it up Braes to meet Rosie Mckenzie from Mckenzie Mountaineering who set herslef a challenge of doing 600,000 steps between 17th Jan and her birthday on 11th March (today!) raising funds for Ullapool Sea Savers and Venture Scotland.
11,500 steps every single day would be a challenge under normal circumstances but she also has a longstanding knee injury and is awaiting surgery so makes her efforts even more impressive. In actual fact, she has now reached an amazing 670,505 steps and is still taking donations as she is going to carry on and if her surgery doesn't start soon then she is going to aim for 1 million steps before she goes for her surgery! (although will be taking tomorrow off after some well deserved Birthday drinks to celebrate).
If you'd like to follow how she gets on and maybe give a donation, her Sea Saver fundraising page is: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rosie-mckenzie4
And Venture Scotland is: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rosie-mckenzie3
Thanks Rosie and everyone who has donated.
