“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not.” ~ Longfellow

Marion is our amazing Catering Coordinator and is already working hard to make sure that all 25 participants and our guides on the SiMBA 2014 Great Glen Challenge are well fed every day! Here she shares why it is important to her to take part in challenge for SIMBA, Simpson's Memory Box Appeal.

"My husband,  son-in-law, daughter, and son are ALL taking part in this challenge, as are many of my daughter's friends, so it was only natural that I get involved. 

We lost our grandson at 35 weeks and had to watch our daughter Megan endure a long and painful labour with the knowledge that that she would be giving birth to a still born baby. It really was the worst day of my life.

As a grandparent you suffer from the loss of a baby, but you also share in the pain of your own child.

But Megan told me that I couldn't be sad anymore and that we have to positive. Her immense bravery and strength motivate me to do all that I can to support SiMBA!"
