We did it! After 26.2 miles and seven hours of walking, TEAM TIREE crossed the finish line at 6.58am.
Fiona, Myra, Jackie and Caroline would like to thank everyone who kindly sponsored them and to those who telephoned and sent texts before and during the night, your encouraging words were great to hear.
Walking with 10,000 women, and a few men, fine weather, lots of laughter and friendship around, even a mobile disco unit at one point, made Saturday night truly one to remember.
We walked thinking of others and to raise money to go towards the new Maggie’s Cancer Centre in Glasgow, 20 NHS scalp coolers to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy treatment and £1.5 million to the Edinburgh Breast Unit.
