We all know how important it is to support the services and charities on our doorstep, especially those that provide comfort and care to local families during the most difficult times. That’s why I’ve chosen to take on this challenge in support of Strathcarron Hospice.

In November 2026, after years of taking on different challenges and adventures, I’ll be completing my final challenge — cycling through Sri Lanka over 10 days to raise money for Strathcarron Hospice.

This challenge will push me physically every day, but it’s all for a cause that makes a real difference to people facing some of the hardest times in their lives. Strathcarron Hospice provides outstanding care, comfort, and compassion to patients and families, helping people find dignity, peace, and support when they need it most. Their work goes far beyond medical care, offering kindness and reassurance to entire families during difficult times.

Although my family hasn’t personally needed the support of Strathcarron, I know how important their work is to so many others, and I wanted to take on a meaningful challenge to help support the vital services they provide.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help Strathcarron Hospice continue their amazing work and will motivate me through every mile of this journey. Thank you so much for your support — it truly means a lot. Alan Johnston
