The play-based curriculum is designed to […]

Pete is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! I’m not a runner. I tend to avoid running under most circumstances. But I’ve been working with Citywise, a great children’s charity, for over 6 months now, and when I heard that they were losing funding on their Summer programs, it’s given me the drive to dust off […]

Ester is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! I’ll be running 5 miles (Ahhhh!) in the Great Edinburgh Run on the 23rd of April in aid of Citywise.

Lisa is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017!

[…]

Anna is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! One year ago, I was very ill and weak.

Having spent four months in a clinic, I […]

Matthew is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Dear Friends and Family — This is my first charity run in my newly adopted home.

Frantisek is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! I’ve been very fortunate to grow up in an environment where honesty, integrity, and dreaming big are common values.

Aarran is running the Edinburgh Run 2017! ”The most powerful lesson you can learn in running? You’re capable of much more than you think.” Amby Burfoot.

Dovile is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! A huge part of my heart belongs to Citywise mentoring charity focused on character building of disadvantaged kids in Glasgow (and Manchester).

Jinin is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Hiya! In the photo, I was running leisurely along the beach in Aberdaron a few summers ago… Soon, I will also be running – only it won’t be so leisurely, but in a city, and in spring (not winter thankfully). On the 23rd of April, I and other […]

Isabelle is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Yeah…I can’t believe it either! But as Citywise mentors we’re always telling the kids to be resilient and challenge themselves, so I’m going to do exactly that! Clearly I’m not the running type (in fact, I shamefully bought my first pair of running shoes specifically for this…) […]

Annie is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Now I know this will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me, as I really don’t care much for long distance running. One thing I do care a lot about though, is the charity that I’ll be running for. Citywise is a mentoring charity that I’ve […]

Hayley is running the Great Edinburgh Run 2017! Citywise aims to teach kids that it’s important to build character and that they can do anything they set their minds to, no matter what challenges they may face.

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. […]

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 […]

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’ […]
