Iain Hunter of Mannofield Church in Aberdeen has asked that details of ther Balmoral Run be shared by Presbyters as widely as possible. A letter with details and sponsor form and powerpoint slide are available for this purpose.

The important thing is to get this out to congregations and not get it stuck in anyone’s inbox.

Iain also makes a special request of Treasurers – some people might donate via an envelope in the plate and he requests that such donations are forwarded to him at Mannofield Church.

They are hoping to raise £40k in this their 40th year to continue to serve the community. Rev Tanya Webster is Presbytery representative on the board of Instant Neighbour and would be happy to talk to anyone about the good work they are doing or fundraising for them.
