Hana running for a banana! (Just kidding. It’s for your money… Please)

Hana is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Hi! It’s true, this April I will be running the Great Edinburgh Run to raise money for the Citywise summer projects. I am no runner, so this is not an easy task, but in Citywise we teach our children that they grow in character by challenging themselves. Therefore, I […]

Hayls Hits the Trails

Hayley is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017!

Kristina- the “Ultimate” runner!

Kristina is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! We all have those things we don’t like doing and for me that’s long distance running. I want our mentees to know that sometimes doing the things you don’t like can lead to something amazing when you put your mind to it and set your heart on it. […]

Dave, one of our […]

If you see me running, you probably should too!

Grace is running the Great Manchester Run 2017! The last time I ran a 10k I was dressed as a toilet and I did it pretty slowly. This time I’m dropping the costume and I’m aiming for an Olympic time… Please donate however much you can as I am running for a fab charity called Citywise, […]

Great Greta’s stroll at the Great Edinburgh Run – it will be great!

Greta is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Some say it’s impossible for our mentees to overcome the challenges of their environments. I say it’s impossible for me to run the length of the Great Edinburgh Run. However, nobody said I cannot walk it and reach the same finish line! In the same way our mentees […]

Excuse me…Do these shorts make me look fast?

Dave Reynolds: last seen running fast at the turn of the millennium at Whitefriars Junior School. This will be my first ‘proper’ run and I’ll totally be “all the gear, no idea”. I only ever normally run when chasing a rugby ball or football! We’re raising funds for the Citywise ‘Heroes Academy’ summer projects. The money […]

Patrik The Running Slovak!

Patrik is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Running is a test of courage, wisdom, strength and resilience, things that we are trying to pass on to our mentees. I believe this is a great way how to improve myself in these virtues and also a great way to support a change in young peoples’ […]
