Walking a marathon for KEEN!
“For our fundraising project we have decided to walk a marathon. Lockdown has got us to both love walking, so we thought to challenge ourselves to complete a much longer walk!”
Meet Marwa and Hana, two of our current Young Leaders
Marwa and Hana are two of our current Young Leaders, from Glasgow. For their fundraising projects they have teamed up to complete a very long walk - a marathon! That’s 26.2 miles of walking!
We spoke to them about why they’re involved with KEEN and have set themselves this amazing challenge
“Keen’s mission is very important to us as we believe it is necessary for everyone to be included in society no matter the race, gender, or disability. We fully support Keen’s mission to inclusion, and are hoping to donate as much money as possible to help with this great cause.”
Have you done anything like this before?
We both love walking, and have been on long walks, such as for our DofE expeditions, but nothing as long as a marathon! We are so excited to do a marathon together, but nervous as we know it wont be easy!
So, what route will they be taking?
They’ll be going on a walking tour of pretty much the whole of the Glasgow City area: starting in Anniesland, walking all the way into the centre, crossing the river and back, through Scotstoun and even Bearsden. Definitely the first time a Young Leader has walked this route of Glasgow!
