Healing for the Heart
August 22, 2023
A group of open water swimmers from the village, Chrissy and Kirsty Muir, Shelagh Watson and Alison Crawford have been open water swimming in all weather, all year round, to get ready for the Loch Lomond Open Water One Mile Race!
Our challenge will take place on Saturday 2nd September and we have decided to swim on behalf of Healing for the Heart. This is an incredible charity providing essential mental health counselling support for people in Glasgow. Our swim will help towards sustaining the high level of compassion and care delivered to those in need regardless of their financial circumstances. Healing for the Heart is truly a place of hope and restoration and has never been more needed. Any contribution received would be hugely appreciated.
