Alan Gray’s Runners

We are taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon in memory of Alan Gray

In November 2023 Alan Gray suffered a life changing stroke, and battled with his health since then. On 23rd August 2024, we sadly lost him as he passed away peacefully with his family by his side.  

Shortly after his passing, we discovered that the Edinburgh Marathon was taking place on his birthday so we couldn’t think of a more perfect way to honour his memory. A group of Alan’s family and friends will be running the marathon together so any donations made to support a charity that is close to us means the world. 

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to crossing that finishing line looking up at Alan as we do.  

We love you Alan - Dad, Granda, Uncle & Friend - this is for you! 🤍🪽✨🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼
