Youngster's 12-hour non-stop relay boosts Walk With Scott Foundation

Mary Kidd spent a day running, cycling, skipping and more in aid of the Walk With Scott Foundation.

The 12-hour non-stop relay on May 29 has collected more than £2,600, which will go to the Tranent-based charity.

Proud mum Karen is secretary of the Walk With Scott Foundation, which was set up by after-dinner speaker Scott Glynn to mark his 50th birthday.

Karen thanked everyone who sponsored her 10-year-old daughter, who also undertook a fundraiser for the charity last year during lockdown.

Mary Kidd has again been doing her bit for the Walk With Scott Foundation with an impressive fundraiser

Karen said: “We are all so very proud of Mary once again, with her amazingly crazy two fundraising events.

“Mary has raised a fantastic £6,862 for the Walk with Scott Foundation and I know first-hand how much these funds are going to help others across our communities.”

Last year, the primary six pupil at Cockenzie Primary School completed a six-hour TikTok marathon, which raised £4,340 for the Walk With Scott Foundation.

The success of the fundraiser even caught the attention of former Spandau Ballet and EastEnders star Martin Kemp and his son Roman. Mary and Karen were joined by dad Gordon and older sister Abbie on Martin and Roman’s Sunday Best TV show to discuss the success of the event.

However, Mary was not content to put her feet up and was once again doing her bit for the good cause.

Speaking ahead of the latest fundraiser, Mary said: “This year I want to double the time, and plan to do a 12-hour non-stop fun relay up and down our Lorimer Lane at the back of my house.

“I’m walking, running, skipping, hopping, jumping, scootering, cycling, skating, football dribbling, swing ball, space hopping and, of course, TikTok-ing!”
