Santa Fun Run

There have been a lot of ‘firsts’ in Scotland…and I’ve gotten to see a lot of things in the last 3 months and had an opportunity to do a lot of things that I have never done before, that I would have never expected…and today was definitely one of those times…

Today I ran a 5K Race for Charity dressed as Santa Clause! I took part in the Haddo House Country Park Santa Fun Run that was organized by a local Rotary Club – the Oldmeldrum Rotary Club! All of the race participants received a complimentary Santa Suit. We all ran in the snow covered hills of Aberdeenshire, Scotland!

Thanks to two other local Rotary Clubs – the Dyce and St. Nicholas Rotary Clubs, I was able to raise £210 for the eradication of Polio through the Rotary PolioPlus campaign and also for local Rotary Club initiatives.

The race was ‘good fun’ – and I was thankful for the Santa Suit because it was an extra layer of clothing to keep me warm! Looking forward to many more fun ‘firsts’ in Scotland!
