Spotlight on Our Kiltwalk Heroes

We’re incredibly proud of our “Seescape Striders” who took on the Dundee Kiltwalk challenge:

– Our own Evelyn Hickman, Karen Russell, and Deanne Brogan completed the gruelling 20-mile ‘Mighty Stride’ from St Andrews to Dundee.

– They were joined by amazing supporters Amanda and Zara Morgan, Zoe Morgan, Vada Montgomery, Sarah Hepburn, Elaina Hutchison, and Shanna Pitbladdo (one of our wonderful clients).

– Hope Murray, who has experienced severe sight loss due to hydrocephalus, bravely took on the four-mile Wee Wander.

– Amanda Morgan, sister of our vision rehabilitation specialist Deanne, completed the Wee Wander despite having had a partial knee replacement last year!

Amanda shared, “After hearing about the Kiltwalk when Deanne took part in 2023, I was determined that I would take part in the future, as a way to raise funds and awareness for Seescape as a thank you for the support that they gave to my late grandparents.”
